I was running 24lbs in the rear when I ripped the stem off this summer, roostered in some loose sand and boom... Flat tire...

I had an unknown slow leak, so it's hard to know at what psi it let loose. Typically would run my old KLR650 at 15 - 18, and never had a problem. Shame on me dor not checking the psi before I went on the ride.
