I just installed some 315-30-18 BFG G-FORCE T/A Drag radials on 18x10 Saleen wheels. The shop put 30 psi in the tires. I'm curious what psi folks are running on the street and what you are dropping it to at the track?

Thanks,
Todd

How are you liking these tires so far? All depends on what ur looking for. Mileage or traction when you need it..I keep my MT drs at 18-20 so I can attempt to hook if I need it.

I street the car at 40 psi and track the car at 15 psi. 315/35/17 MT DRs
How are your teeth? Any left? :dw: That thing has to ride rough

I run 34-35 front and 28-30 rear psi on the street. Lower psi in the back helps them hook up better. Never been to the track :)

Ha, it's not too bad. I don't do any pulls or races on the street so it's not an issue usually. And most of the time the only time the car is out is for meets or track days.
