Hey guys, I just got a set of Pitbull Growler 2.5s. The wheel and tire combo I got is about 7 lbs heavier (front) and 8 lbs heavier (rear). But that is not my concern.

This may apply to all bias-ply vs radial tires (I don’t know) but even aired down to the Yamaha minimum pressure (4 lbs.) these things are firm as hell!

Compared to the stock maxxis tires, which are super-soft and obviously absorb a lot of shock from the various ride surfaces, these things are really hard!

Is this normal, and how much more rough is the ride going to feel over rocks, trees, and uneven surfaces?
