Just installed some bfg 315's on my 17 inch cobra wheels. They have about 2 passes left in them and was wondering what psi I should run on the street. Also does handling suffer alot with them?

This doesn't sound very smart... first of all, a 315 tire must look kinda goofy on a 17x9 cobra wheel. Secondly, why did you go through the trouble and cost of mounting bald tires? seems like a bit of a waste.

Anyway, what kind of BFG is it? They make quite a few different kinds of tires and the type of tire will tell you what kind of pressure to run. A drag radial? All season tire? Off road mud tire?

I would think 28-30psi would be good on an all season tire, while 14-16 would work well on a drag radial. And no, a 315 tire on a 9" wheel won't handle that well.

They are 17x10.5! I never said they were 9 inches wide.
