Default bais M/T et fronts air pressure ?
I have a new set of et drag front skinnies I will run at the track tomorrow with my et drag slicks. What psi should I run in these front runners?

I run around 40PSI anything less and the car feels like it is swaying back and forth.

That's what I was thinking, but it does say on the side of these not to inflate beyond 35 psi to seat bead.

I have always done the max on the side of the tire. 35 psi would be max IMO. My tires say 32 psi max so that is what I run. No more no less.

Depending how I am hitting the tree, I run between 30 and 32 psi on the front.

IMO, 40 psi is way to much.

I would run 35-40 psi in them.

You may want to call M/T and get the input.

Anything less than 35-38 on mine and they are scrubbing the sidewalls.

I am about to go back to a radial tire though.
