Duro Wildlife Leopard air pressure?

I was wondering what the p.s.i. rating for this tire is, and what
pressure do you prefer to ride on, for a 26"x3" MUni tire. I don't have
it yet, thought I'd ask. Also is anyone use tube sealants like Slime? I
used to get a lot of flats the Slime is doing the trick...

I think it's 30-50 psi.
play with different pressures and find your own preference.

if you're doing a lot of hopping you'll want a pressure that's just
enough so it won't bottom out but also bouncy.

Yeah I agree with Monocyclist about the 30-50psi. I do that to my
unicycle. I guess it also depends on what you'll be using your unicycle
for. Will it be used for Street, MUni, Freestyle, etc

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

I can't imagine a duro wildlife 3" being used for much other than
muni...and I run my 24x3" at about 20psi.

Tire pressure is also very dependent on weight. Just experiment till
you find what works for you. It's just air, it's free

My 24 x 3 Leopard Wildlife is rated at 1 - 2.5 bar (15 - 35 psi), I
don't see why that should be different for the 26 x 3. I pump mine to
about 22 psi when I think it is too soft, and then leave it alone for
at least a month, during which time it deflates some. In the end it
boils down to personal preference, also on how high you drop etc. A
good starting point is 1 psi per 10 lbs of rider weight.

Slime... I never had a flat on any unicycle, and I've been riding for
six years. Regardless of whether it would help prevent flats, it would
be a bad thing if it adds significant weight. The best place to save
weight (if at all possible) is in the wheel, and the more to the
outside, the more important. Rim is more important than spokes, tyre is
more important than anything else.

I way about 155 pounds (ahem!) and ride mine at about 20 PSI. That's
too firm for much bouncing, but gives a good combination of control and
absorbing bumps.

I have had 4 consecutives flats on my Leopard! and always for the same
reason: I tend to ride with "soft" pressure and the rim did cut the
valve out of the tube!
I ended up protecting the valve with a combination of metal ring and
chewing-gum!
