Default how much air would i have to put in my four-wheeler tires to lift 650lbs on water?

not that i am going to put that much air in the tire in fear of a blow up but i want to know how much air it would take to hold it up on the water. even if it will sag to the tops of the tires.

Air has mass. The more air you put in the tyres, the heavier it will become.

You'd have to have some mighty big tires.

I have over sized ITP mudlites on a old suzuki 230 and it barely floats. It does float but we are talking the water is up to the top of the tires.

The only way you are going to float your much larger wheeler is using some added floatation. I floated a suzuki king quad 400 using over sized tires and pvc pipe. I sealed the pvc pipe well and used tire valves so that I could add air to the pvc.

You can float it, just going to take some brain work on your part. Also dont forget to add extra sealant to the duct work of the air box assembly
