Re: What tire pressure for slicks/skinnies? Mean: Every car is different. My '02 A4 SS has a raceweight of 3550. I run 15" Convo-Pro whls front and rear. 4" in front, 7.5" in rear. I run 165x15 metric radials up front, and 26-8.5x15 ET Drags at the track in back. I run a Vig 3200 w/stock motor and LS1 Edit tuning. Front tires=45 psi. Rears anywhere from 16-20 psi. BTW, I run the ET Drags w/no tubes. I ran a 12.39, 107.6, 1.67 sixty in 75 degree weather just a couple of Saturday's ago. I also run stock exhaust manifolds, gutted cats, LG Y pipe, SLP dual-dual w/3" Flo-tech cutout. Hope this helps you out. WJ.

Re: What tire pressure for slicks/skinnies? What size tires, what size rims, will you be on motor, and how much is the raceweight?
I ran 26x11 or 12.5x15 ET Streets on 15x10 Pro Stars and went 1.50 on them a few times, I ran them at 15 cold and did a 7 second burnout for the first pass, and 5 seconds thereafter. This was at US41.
I went 1.57 on 26x11.5x16 ET Streets on 16x9 Weld XP's, they ere 20 psi cold. That was four years ago.
