What PSI would you run them at to get them to hook in second second gear on the street?

With my 17'' BFG's, I can't get them to hook at any more than 18-20PSI. And they'll spin in third gear surprisingly easily with any more tire pressure than that.

I orginally wanted Hoosiers, but thought they didn't make the size I needed so I went with the BFG's. :nonono:

My BFG's can handle the job I guess, but I'd definitely like to run more tire pressure in them for street duty. When they're done (soon), Hoosiers are going on for sure! :rockon:

30 psi on the street

30PSI and you can dead hook in second? WOW!

With my BFG's I'm lucky to get it to hook at 20PSI on a warm day, but it'll grab at 18PSI on a semi warm day.

Definitely gotta get a set of those Hoosiers now. Thanks for the info bro.

Man that guy you lost to took a shitload of finish line. Nice runs man and beautiful car. I can always have respect for a fellow bracket racer.

56* and you're wearing 2 layers of long sleeved sweat shirts?
lol, enjoy the weather you bish.

Yea 56* is freezing , I'm glad it warmed up to low 70's or I may have had to go home , it's just not right having to stay out in the cold .

California's winter weather > Detroit's winter weather :beer:
