Tire pressure for drag racing?
 
I wanted to know what my tire pressure should be on all four wheels on these following types of tires:
Nitto 555 (street tires)?
Nitto 555R's (Drag Radials)?
Racing Slicks?

most ppl i know that run that setup run the max tire pressure up front i think 42psi. and out in the rear they keep at around 15 16psi. also depends on what your car likes. i was only talking about the 555's and these guys were running the 275/40 d/r. the m/t i think they were stayin a lil higher like 18 or 19. i dont know what size they had but i think m/t only make like 2 or 3 sizes for the 17" rim.

what size tires?

Blue Thunder 03-03-2005 06:04 PM

17/9 wheels so think of normal tire sizes (i know nothing about tires!)

17x9?

if so then i assume you would run a 275 or 295 rear drag radial. so i would say 16-18psi woul dbe best.
