Tire pressure

[scancion]

Hey whats up guys, I am going to the strip tonight and I need to know what tire pressure to run my tires at. I have 315/35/17 nitto 555r's. Drag radial obviously. Does 15 psi sound about right?

Good starting point. I have run them as low as 12 and as high as 16 depending on track conditions.

I'm about to hit the track tonight... the air should be relativaly cool...so #'s should be decent.

Do you do water? or no water?... big burnout? ......etc I'll be running the 315 17" nittos 555r's

I go around the water and then back into it unless on skinny fronts. Then I just drive straight through it. Make sure both tires are completely wet. Do a 2nd gear burnout until they start to roll smoke and then pull out under power gradually letting off until they grab. Pull straight to the line(no dry hops). Your first launch is the best so don't waist it on a dry hop. Good luck.
