Default What tire pressure for 15'' wheels on 28'' tall MT/ET steets

I got some 15'' weld prostars big and littles, the rears are 28'' tall Mickey Thompson ET streets. I had on old set with 26'' tall tire on 16''' wheels that i use to run at 12 psi at the track, but now want to run these 28's on the street. What PSI do some of you run them at, if you are planing on taking it up to higher speeds on the highway/street?

Thanks in advance!

Its this style thread pattern for reference.

Damn, that thing looks like a slick. Where's the thread pattern at?

That's not the current tire... it's for reference! And I'm asking psi, not thread pattern.

I'd ask Mickey Thompson. It's their tires, so they should know what PSI to run them at on the street and on the strip.

I'd like to hear from ppl that have actually run these tires... preferably in a street race, if you don't mind.

I've run em...12lb at the strip and squirrely as hell.
I personally would not run them at "higher speeds on the highway". That's what DR's are for. Given the right suspension/set-up a DR can dead hook on the street.

28PSI On the street dry only sacry when wet. 17-20psi at the strip
