I run the same size r's on the rear. I keep them around 22 or 23 for daily driving, so far they've worn great.

Had those on my old car. Was very happy with them. Just make sure you warm them up a bit before you try to launch.

I ran mine at 24 on the street and 20 at the track...ran 11.50s on them. Just make sure not to put more than 25lbs of air in them...the middle will wear very quickly.

15-17 at the track. leave at a high enough rpm that you dont bog, pop the clutch let it leap out, then give it throttle

mine like 14 psi at 4500 launch, probably 5000 would work better nxt time out for me.

these tires hook even on the street!! I have never felt my first gear befor i am going to test & tune tonight at Mason Dixon so i will let everyone know how i made out. Any one know how much time tires take off your time i know it varys i have pulled 1.9 60fts with my radials but that was leaving very easy i cant wait to let it rip from 4000 or so. should i try N.O.S. in first gear?
