What pressure are you running with your Nitto tires?

Just installed a pair of 275/40 17 Nitto drag radials. I am curious what pressure seems to work best on these at the track. How about around town as well?



Thanks!

I just swaped mine out for some et streets.

I ran 18psi at the track, and 35 on the street for cornering and tire wear concerns. you can go back down to 18psi if your planning on streetracing. also, mine hooked awesome on the street. barely any spin.

Sounds good. I'll start around 20 and lower it from there and see what happens.

I just installed a spool tonight as well, so this could be very interesting.

18 psi seemed to work okay for awhile at the track, on the street I tried to keep it above 23, but no more than 30 psi, the center wear out so damn fast.

I have run them at 25 on the street and down to about 18 on the track.
