MT ET Street Drag Radial Tire Pressure
First trip to the track is Wed with new "slicks". What air pressure should I run at the track?

RE: MT ET Street Drag Radial Tire Pressure
Are they drag radials (not a slick) or bias-ply ET Street?
I run my ET Streets at 14-15 PSI. You can start at 18 PSIand go down as you need.

I ran mine at 18psi, but will probably drop to 16psi next trip to the track.

As high as you can without slip. This decreases drag on the top -end.
18-22 psi seems to be the norm for normally aspirated cars.

I ran them last year on stock rims. The stocks are technically a little too narrow for those tires soI ran them at 15psi to flatten the tread and get the best possible contact patch.

I run mine @ 20 PSI, I am using stock 17x8 bullitts, already kinda pushing it so I keep a little more air in them,

I run mine at 16psi on 17x9" rims... You just reminded me to get mine balanced... They don't stay balanced long with all those John Force burnouts
