I've read so many different numbers. :o

I know it will vary by car, but I wanted to get a general idea.


I have been running anywhere from 15 to 18 psi in mine. My best 60' (1.8) came at 15 psi. I'm wondering if I should try 18 again or maybe even a little higher.

Also, are long or short burnouts best for these tires?

I am running MT ET drags so they are a little different. I run 12 psi in mine with a best 60 of 1.6 I would do a long burnout on those type of tires. They are still designed to get traction when they are hot

Only 1 of them has a tube in it. Why just 1? Had a small hole in it so I patched it & tubed that tire. Never got around to doing the other tube.
