Big grave dig as this thread is what turned up when I put "tire pressure" into the search bar.
Had a nice solo ride at Silvan again, and the odd bit of trail was slightly greasy clay. I believe come wet winter weather much of Silvan kinda ends up wet greasy clay.
Any thoughts, opinions or experience out there about whether tire pressures should go up, down or stay the same to maximize traction on clay-ish trails?

You may have misspelled 'tyre' when searching, here is a more up to date thread:

Tyre pressure. How things have changed.

So reminiscing tonight about tyres and how they have evolved over the last 10-15 years.( should this be in vets thread?) Every Sunday there would be a ride with locals , but mostly customers of a lbs I was friends with the mechanic of. Almost without fail, there were a number of stops...

Americano spelling of *tire.

You'll want to find tyres that will shed the clay mud away in the wet. I usually lower the tyre pressure a few psi to get traction over rocks and logs because the clay can act like soap and make you slide all over the place.
