Start at about 15 psi and go down from there if you spin. I have never had to go below 12 psi. Any lower than that and mine would start to feel too loose. The psi will go up about 3 psi on your first burn out, about 2 psi after that. Check your psi right after you make a pass to see how they are going to react to heat. I usually do a 3-5 second burn-out right where the track is just damp. Don't waste your time or rubber on dry hops. Just do your burn out and get to the line.

I think 15psi is about as low as you would want to go w/ET Streets. I used to start at 20 and go down from there. Never had to go below 16.

Start at 20-22psi and go down from there... 15 is way to low to start out with... The lower you get the less mph you will have on the big end....

It all depends on the track prep, your gearing, power level, tq converter(A4). My car pulls the best 60's at 15 pounds or less. This is on 26x10.5x15s. Maybe the 16's don't like that low psi, but my 15's do.
