Do you Darksiders do the wheel balancing the conventional way with weights or use Ride-on or Balance beads?
Being "old school" I use stick-on Zinc Weights. Using my trusty low speed spin balancer, I purchased at Harbor Freight, this method has produced balanced tires with ease. Never a problem with either front or rear tires! I prefer to do this chore myself. With weights in 1/4oz. increments, I can place a weight on each side of the rim "centerline" for wheel/tires requiring more than 1/4oz. of weight

Scotty,
Welcome to the forums!
Most darksiders start around 30 and then ride through water and see what the tread pattern looks like.
Not all the way to the edge, a little less.
Not enough in the middle, a bit more.
I've never run dark side myself, but there are many experts on these hallowed pages.
Again, welcome!
Cheers,
Steve

I'm 255/260 lbs and have my 6 set up for "solo riding"! When initially installing the Max, I set the pressure at 36/38 psi. After some accumulated miles, I settled at 43 psi. The Max has a single ply sidewall and is not a "run flat"" The higher pressure removed some "tire squirm". The maximum pressure for the G-Max is 50 psi, so the 43 psi, which may appear/seem high, is well within the tires designed pressure limit! I'm currently on my second Max and will be changing it out to a third Max! Once exhausting my inventory of G-Max's, I may give a "run flat" a try!
