Nitto drag radial Tire PSI.

Scenario.


Daily driven HCI 5.0 with 245 nittos on stock rims.

What should be the tire psi if i want to hook 'okay' and still not alter gas mileage.

Right now they are on like 35 psi which is high, what should they be lowered to?

25 is good for the street 18 at the track

buddy runs his at 22 on street and about 15 on the track. its on his WS6 and has pulled 1.67 with them, but his are 315's

Im just a little worried about gas mileage, i drive a lot on the highway with these. I think ill bring them down to 27.

Drag radials have a very soft rubber compound, so their street life is probably about 10 K miles. Plan on keeping the pressure higher on the street if you want to get any kind of tread life out of them at all.

dude with a cobra in my town runs his at 24 psi and he seems to be getting pretty even wear.

24-25psi MAX for them. Ask me how i know

If you run too much pressure on them they WILL wear out faster in the middle. I keep mine around 24psi hot. I'm on my second set

At the track 10-12psi is what you want for them.

my 275's i run 20 psi in them. if i run what the side of the tire says the middle also wears out. mine are wearing nicely. full boot print when i do a burn out.

I run 22psi street and 15psi at the track. They will wear out in the middle if you put to much air in them...I went thru that...
