You might want to clarify: radials or bias-ply slicks?

Here's a topic recently on the radials: https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-racing-results/570216-m-t-dr-didn-t-work.html

Perhaps you should have mentioned radial in the title. Anyway in my 255/50/16 ET radials I ran 18psi.

Not sure about psi on the MT DR's but when I had BFG DR's, the only time I got them to hook on my camaro is when I put them down to 10 psi.

275/60/15 radials, on 3 different cars we've found 16-18 psi works well.

Gator has used them as high as 22 psi I believe and gone 1.4X 60 foots with them. Every car is different and requires trying different pressures.

My best 60' so far on them.
MT DR 325-50-15 @ 13-14 psi pre-burnout 1.67 60'.

Greater psi didn't work for me.

Guys around here run the radials around 18-22 psi
I would start out around 22 and work your way down

ET Streets.... 12-14 psi
