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?

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.

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.

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...
