Default 17lbs in ET PRO radial at the track, what PSI on the street?

cut a 1.62 60ft at the track first pass on these new tires with 17Psi, was pretty stoked.
Went to a car meet last night where they do 8th mile runs, Car couldn't hook at all on 17lbs, I'll be experimenting with the pressure anyway but I wanted to see what you guys run on the street.. Tire is a 275 60 15 ET PRO

and before anyone says (the street is different blah blah blah) I know the street is different, I'm asking what tire pressures are commonly used with that tire on the street or a different tire the same size.



Tire looks pretty sick on my car however.

Car looks good with the racestars! I just ordered a set of the polished one for my TA. I've been trying to decide if I want to get the mt et streets or if I should try these pro ones. Didn't know if the Pros would last very long

According to MT, they wear similar with the et pro wearing slighty quicker but not much. There's only a few dollars diff in the two as well. The store I went to was out of the et streets in that size so I opted for these

On my Chevelle I run 20lbs at the track and around 30 for street driving.

24 lbs. anything over 25 and you will wear out the tire center.
