Default MTDR psi

Hello, I was wanting to compare what tire pressure yall run in your 275/60/15 MT drag radials. Also what would be a good brand/type of psi gauge to check the higher DR psi with. My good guage only goes to 15. We r getting back in headsup racing and r new to DR tires. All we used to use were ET Streets

Thanks for any help

I ran the goodyear's last year, which aren't as good a tire, at least not compared to the older m/t tires. I ran them with the best luck at 19.5 psi before the burnout. 1.45 was the best 60 foot I got out of them, n/a off the footbrake. I never did get them to hook off the transbrake, but off the footbrake not seeing the shock, the car would run just as fast as I have with et drags n/a

Here's a link to what I use now:

Usable for radials or slicks, pretty accurate and rubber insulated from shock.

If I remember right my friend runs 16 psi in his 275 60 15 mounted on a 15x10" rim. He's run a best of 8.30's in the 1/4 last time I heard. With usually mid to high 1.3 60ft's.
