Tyre pressures for drag strip

Post by Dan88 »

Im off to santa pod this weekend with a load of mates (for the social aspect rather than the show :roll: ) and going to head up the strip on the sunday.

Ive only ever been up the strip once before, and that was after only 2 days of ownership, and i ran a 14.7 which i was pleased with. This year ive done more to the car, and had a lot more experience driving it, so hoping to get into the high 13's maybe.

I was just wondering what tyre pressures are best to run? i know it depends a lot on the conditions etc, but i just wanted a guidline. Im running 225/50/15 falkens on the rear and 215/50/15 falkens on the front.

I know theyre not best tyres to use for drag strip etc etc, but they are what ive got for the road as i only do the strip now and then.

Any guidlines on what pressures to run?
