BFG DR"s

[KENNE-BELL'D]

This will be my first season using a drag radial tire.
I went with the BFG, 315-35-17.
DO i run regular tire pressure while stret driving, and then go down to 15-16 psi at thetrack....or just leave them at the low psi all the time?

Depends on if you want them to last long or not. My brother drives his around on 18 PSI all the time and leaves it at that for the track and he has about 2,500 miles on em but there almost out of tread. If you want them to last long you will want to run regular tire pressure. If not and you want them to hook on the street while cruising then leave em at a lower pressure.

u might get between 10-15 k at noram tp maybe 5-8 with lower tp. depends on how long u want them to last

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Do both.

I run mine at 32 on the street and 18 at the track.

 

[Orr89rocz]

yeah run like 25-35psi on the street and it will still hook somewhat good since its soft rubber.

and at the track drop it to 15-20psi and see what works

If you want them to last run the recommended tire pressure on the street. I would consult with BFG on how low to go on pressure when racing. Remember they are not bias ply tires and respond different than wrinkle wall MT ET's. The information is on their website.

Drag Radial Problem

JUST BUY A SPEAR SET OF WHEELS AND HAVE A PAIR FOR THE TRACK AND USE YOUR STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES FOR ON THE STREET YOULL HOOK JUST AS GOOD WITH DR"S ON THE STREET AS YOU WOULD WITH STREET TIRES BECAUSE THERES NO HOT RUBBER ON THE STREET AT THE LIGHT WHEN YOU RACE SO YOU WONT GET TRACTION ANYWAY. JUST MY .02 CENTS :coolman:

 

[RJM03Cobra]

I ran 25 on the street and 12 at the track.
