Well, As I'm just getting back into biking, and well, have forgotten a lot.
I was looking at the tires that came with my bike thinking, no wonder I'm having trouble getting grip.
I'm 180 and running 50 F & R, I'm off to let some air out. I'll try 40 I think.
Thanks to all who have posted here, possibly saved me buying tires I don't need.
Question: Tires say 35 - 65, Can I go lower than 35 on trails?

Cambodia has a bunch of muddy back road and single track, keeping them hard lets them dig in and get to the hard surface below the slippery stuff.

Since my post 4 years ago, I've grown to 225 lbs. and 6'5". Well, not really. 
Still a scrawny flyweight, running the same tire pressures as before.
