When I was first playing with them, I took them out in longer grass than you'd ever find on a course (probably 3"-4"). I went in circles as fast and hard as I could, and they only released when the tread finally filled up with grass cuttings. They were very predictable; I had no problem pushing them to that point where you hear the grass starting to tear and holding them there. I run them both front and back, and at 175 pounds, tend to run about 50psi when it's dry, a little less when it's wet. Hope that helps! Dana, that’s probably what I liked them best for!
