Default What PSI to run Nitto's ?

I am going to be getting the BMR torque arm and lower control arms with the relocation brackets. I'm also getting the 275/40 Nitto's to run. My question is what psi do you guys launch and at what RPM with an M6? Thanks for your help

I use to keep mine between 18-22 psi. It depends on track preo and how hard you want to launch ..

Thanks for the help, Mine has been lowered and I will be ordering the panhard rod also to help. The best 60ft I could get before was a 2.0 with street tires and I lowered the tire pressure to 20psi and got that. So with the Nitto's and the suspension I should see alot better 60ft time. Thanks guys.

I ran them at 18 when I was at the track to try and "hook", I've seen people go lower though... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

My best results were between 14 to 16 at the track. Come down in increments of one and find the air pressure that best helps you. Cheers.
