Launching MT radials I just got my new set of 17" MT radials mounted yesterday. I want to try them out tonight. What is the ideal tire pressure? What is the best burnout technique?? Just a dusting, or a full burn?
Lastly - any tips on launching would be good. My track isn't very good and is quite slick. Car is an M6, supercharged.... more power than I know what to do with.
Hopefully the 10 bolt lasts.

Suffice it to say they only prepped 60 feet and after that was a skating rink. I smoked them all the way through 2nd gear.
start saving for a rear. If you do a short spin in the water to get the tires wet then pull forward out of the water and then do a big smokey burn out with about 14 psi in the tires....you should hook..you might bogg from hooking so hard.
well, i have an a4 with a 4000 stall, on a 15in rim, so, pretty much the opposite you have, but they are MT Drag Radials regardless. about 15 psi was the best for me. and give them a pretty good burnout, they like that
