Default Tire pressure on Mickey Thompson tires
What tire pressure should I run with the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Tire P275/50R15 26 x 11.5 - 15 R2 and the Sportsman S/R Radial 26'' x 6'' - 15''LT for some light street driving?

Start off at 18, you can run more on the street (but it may not hook well), but 18 is a very good area for those tires to hook great.

Just running around town I usually have about 22PSI in mine. But when I race I drop them to 18.

Are those pressures for both the front and rear tires?
