What are most people finding what air pressure works best with the MT Drag Radials. I have 275/60 r15 on 10" race stars. I have tried the pressure from 22psi down to 10 psi all with a burnout and I am still spinning. Please Help.

14-17 seems to be the sweet spot depending on set up

This is at the track. I used to run 26X11.5X17 MT ET street bias ply. Ran them at 19 psi with no burnout and the car hooked great. On these radials it isn't that easy. It even spins at the 1-2 shift. My best 60' is 1.95 on these radials. With the Bias Ply's I could get 1.89's.

I have had a couple sets of those and always got the best 60s out of them at 15 psi. I would get a lot of tire/wheel slip if I went lower than 15.

I found it. 16 psi and no burnout just go around the water and turn them over 1 time to get the rocks off then go to the line. 1.87 60' I guess the burnout was making them too soft. My best 1/8 mile pass yet 7.78 at 91 mph. I guess I will have to wait until wed night test and tune to get a 1/4 mile pass.
