drag radial tire pressure on street

[spederman]

Just curious to what everybody runs on their Drag radials for street use, not the track. I have Nitto DR's 305/35/18 and run about 29psi on the street. Hopefully that is a good pressure to have even wear for the life of them and still get good traction. Just wanting to know what yall are running, esp since this is my first set and i have no experience with them.

At 29 psi, you will likely wear out the centers very quickly if you do alot of driving on the street. I run mine around 23 psi and they still wear the centers out faster than the edges.

22 psi on my 305/35/18 MT's

15 psi on my 275/60/15 MT's

wow, i didnt know everybody was running such low tire pressures on the street with DR's. I had them at 25 psi and actually raised it a bit thinking i would get uneven wear before. hmmmmm.......

i was getting a TERRIBLE wobble in the back of the car at 28 psi on the 18" MT's. i dropped them to 22 and it went away

cool thanks boys. i also googled it and found out that most def i'm running way too much psi and it will cause uneven wear. Most people are running 22-24psi and seem to get even wear.
