First Ride on OBOR rock monsters

[Excalibur]

I picked up 35" OBOR Rock Monsters for my 2020+ Kawasaki KRX recently and the first ride felt amazing, it had great traction on wet rocky trails. I ran 30 miles at 9 PSI, should I try 8?

Well... dropping to 8 PSI can give a bit more bite on rocks. But make sure you watch out for pinch flats if you hit sharp edges. Personally, I stick around 8.5 to 9 for mixed trails.

Do you notice much difference in sidewall stability when dropping from 9 to 8 PSI, or is it mostly just extra traction without much trade-off?
