Default Nitto tire pressure.

What PSI are you guys running with your nitto's? Also what kind of 60's you all getting?

Thanks

Try starting at 18 psi or so, and working your way down until they hook for you. The A4 guys have been cutting low 1.6s with Nittos. My best on them was a 1.84 (M6). Don't go any lower than 14 psi with them.

1.58 was my best with lots of 1.56-1.64's on 245/50/16inch nittos. Those were when i was stock internal though

after I did the cam, traction become more of a issue and the best I could cut was a 1.64 on them.

but I ran 19-21 in mine. I run 21 in my et streets now also. If I dropped below 18 on my nittos the tires cupped and I 60'ed WORSE
