Default Breaking in ET streets?

I put like 200 miles on them, and I put like 2 passes on them...5-6 from another person and I wasn't impressed with my two runs...

I lowered pressure to like 15-16 psi and burned them well, and they still didnt hook worth ****..


I was real disappointed but maybe I'll give them another shot.

do a burnout for about 10 seconds at 80-100 mph in 3rd gear, let the tires set overnight, will bring oils to the surface. Should help. I just seasoned my M&H tires today.

Anyone ever try out the 275/50R17 Drag racing tires? Those look like some good hooking DR's...
