Very dry areas on my track with small rocks ..quite rough
Better to lower pressure a bit?
I know the bike though is heavy and needs higher pressure. Ty!

Typical MI heavy sand areas. Some mucky standing water loam, few baby head rock garden.

Dry, rough track with small rocks. Stock tires? I like your pressures.

I would keep the pressures that you run and experiment with going up/down 1 psi in each direction. You can go up/down 2 psi if you cannot tell the difference.

Going with higher pressures, you may feel less confident initially, but the bike will handle the bumps, the rocks, and your screw-ups better. Going down, you may get overly excited with confidence until you hit something hard.
