Hitting the track with the Nittos, got a couple ??
What PSI should I run my Nitto DR's at and how much should I heat them? I am going to the track tomorrow night and would like to have and idea before I get there, thanks

i dont know about the psi probably around 15 as for heating them up, second gear brake stand and burn them till they get sticky enough that they start pushing you forward

That is what I did with my MT's, I just thought I might have to run a little more pressure than that. And I hear you have to really make these things smoke to get them stickey, is that true?

Well, it isn't a track car so if I have to rape them, I will only have to do it a few times a year so that is alright. I will let you guys know how they work for me.

Ditto on the above. That's what I did when I ran them. A major smokey burnout is a must!!! Don't forget the blue painters tape for the new paint on those rear lower quarters!!

Gonna get some plastic on there tomorrow to protect it....but the tape idea would work good in a pinch, just a little white trash

I hear pledge works good to get it off and keep it off....just spray it on before you go I guess.
This is the stuff I am going to use http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...41571&rd=1
You can take it off and put on new if it gets beat up.
