I just got a set of 26x11.5 16" et streets.... and was wondering what tire pressure I shoud run?

samz28

i ran 11.5psi (check after each run) kinda sketchy but did the trick.

same size tire they were my bro's about 5 years old lol,made those nitto's feel like street tires on the hook.

STRONGLY SUGGEST. TAPE or chalk the rim.

warning: if rim spins 360+ then the chalk method might not be so good.

if the rim moves, time for screws.

11.5 seems kinda low.... I was thinking like 13 -15?

samz28

try it. 11.5 is fine cause after the massive burnout they will be back to 13psi. gotta check them after each run man. I tried 13.5,15psi,16psi on nitto's that day and couldn't hook for shizzit. It's a interesting ride with ET's thats all i can say. kinda floaty but damn do they hook. Gotta put a line lock in too or you will torture your brakes heating them up. (and probably trans temps).

good luck and monitor your trans fluid temps i lost performance big time as they got up there.

I always run at 15lbs and they hook pretty good . any less and the float is pretty bad

I run 10 psi with screws.They're wobbly up top but my best 60's have been at 10-11 psi.

If your not 60'ing monster times then a higher psi might work. I'm running them at 15psi and am pulling high 1.5s, dropping the pressure doesn't help me cause I already hook. Just my .02.

samz28

what tires you got man? Are 26x11.5 on 16's the best for a camaro (stock suspenion)? i dont want to backspacers, or rubbing.

just curious. I ran 26x11 on 16's last time what fits best on a cheapie set of rims like stock z28 or salad shooters?

Ran a 1.496 60' with 23 psi. HRP track must be prepped awfully good as I never have to run less than 20 psi.

14 psi cold

I always run between 19-22 psi with no trouble at all. I even pulled a wheel on a 150 shot out of the hole with chrome ZR1's on the front and stock 16 in Z28 wheels out back with 26/11.5/16 ET Streets.
1.5 60ft.

The one's I'm running are XPs - 16x8.5 that are for sale under the Florida section. I liked them for when my car was a daily driver and I could just bolt them up for the track with no problems of rubbing, grinding, etc.

I ran 22 psi in mine today and had no spin at all, even on a 5K dump.

Experiment a little because it will depend on track prep. The highest pressure possible without tire spin should net you the best times.
