Default Calling all who run MT ET STREETS 28x12.5x15

What is your suspension setup?

What do PSI do you run these tires at?


I still got a lot of suspension stuff to play with, hal settings and what not, but I've only cut a 1.58 60' so far with these tires.....

I can't hook for anything off the brake......I run them at 14psi, they are not tubed or screwed either

I ran them one night only, too big and it rubbed a hole in the bumber as it drops behind the tire. Couldnt get it to hook either.

BOS, why such a wide tire. Taller is better than wider! I'd bet that you would have much better success with a 29x10!

Will that involve cutting the bumper?

I really don't want to do that

Sean, what do you use for shock settings?

just run them between 10.5 to 11.5 depending on how much your car bites. if it bites hars and cups them at 10.5 then run 11.5 to maybe 11.75 and you'll see a big improvement or the current 14psi you're running now. i run mine right at 11.5 and cut high 1.4's to low 1.5's on motor and mid 1.3's on the bottle with a 28x12.5 et street.

last time out running 11.0's I had my shocks at 6 in the back and 4 in the front. 10.5-11 PSI in my 28" et drags.

I have noticed though that with the new gear and tire no concrete settings seem to work..car really reacts to that day's track conditions.
