Driver Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 205/50/15 toyo r888 at about 16psi should do the trick (depending on weather/outside temp etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 16psi sounds low :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 dont need alot of pressure for drag racing, lowering ressure increases amount of rubber on floor for a better launch but once u get up to speed the centrafugal speed of the wheel/tyre keeps it up and narrows the tyre down a touch so its nto too low and created drag, 16psi is about what it wants to bee at the front and about 30-32 at the rearoo i sounded clever then untill i spealt centrifugal wrong lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
