Default What psi in Nitto 315's?

I'd like to hear from the guys who cut sub 1.8 60's on Nittos. I'm running 26psi (hot) on the street and 18psi (hot) at the track. I'm mostly concerned about the track though.

Thanks.

You just answered your own question ********

18 psi is about the lowest i'd ever go with a Nitto. I've tried them all, they seem to like ~20-22 psi....

18-20 lbs . depends on track though. 1.70's on 315's and 1.67's on 16 inch nittos. 16 inch worked great at 16 lbs

My auto likes ~11-12. Many 1.6x's on 17" Nittos.

20-22psi seems to work better for me than 18. Everytime I go to the track, I start out with 20-22. I hit 1.8s and run 12.7s,12.8s I drop the damn pressure thinking I'm gonna hook better, and I run 13.1s for the rest of the day
