MT street radials

I love them, went to a Test and Tune last night. Naturally no track prep. Anyways only dropped the psi to 23lbs hot and they dead hooked every time. Gotta love it. PS, 275 50 15s. A little over 10 inches of rubber on 9 3/4 inch wide Bogarts.

Glad the tires are working out for you Rick. Can't wait to test out the ones I bought from you.

I think cold they were at 21lbs. Maybe you had to little air and didn't have a good contact patch, although I highly doubt it. What size wheels are they on? And sorry, but I can't make the wedding, that my wifes birthday.

Yeah my Hoosier DRs in a 275 60x15 hook good at 22psi warm running the numbers in the sig. So I think that 16 psi in the DRs is probably way to low.

First set we tried I was sold! Mild car in street trim. Hit it with every thing she had N/A and yanked the front wheels 6in off the ground and carried them!

The catch? This was on the 274/40-17s!!
