So I'll be sticking some 315 555r's on out back. What pressure do yall recommend for a daily driven car to minimize uneven tire wear. They will see the strip over summer but I need them to hold up long as possible. I will also be putting 275 555's up front as well... should I just keep those pressurized close to max? Thanks!

 

I have the 11x17 zr1 wheels, i have fond that 26 psi wear the best on the street . AT the strip i run 20-22 PSI . i hope this helps.

 

26 just driving around

 

I was told by a Nitto tech to run 23-25 psi for best traction.

 

I have the 245/50/R16 should I still run 25 PSI in them at the drags?

On Speed Inc.'s website is says dont run below 12 PSI on the BFGoodrich Drags which seems incrediably low

 

I've got 315 35 R17 on the rear and I dd with about 26-28 psi. On the track on run anywhere from 18-22 depending on weather/track conditions.


dnm12, you want to drop your pressure some for more bite off the line. 12 does seem a bit much though. what are you 60's?

 

horriable currently thats why I just bought the nitto's 2.00 is the best i could get on street tires with about 25 PSI and heated up real good, but I am spinning the tires in fourth pretty bad...so i will run at about 25 PSI at the drags and go lower if i still dont hook but 18-20 is the lowest I should go..

 

i have used the 555r now for about 2 years now(not the same set). My tire pressure is at 20 psi. My car used to be a DD

 

What I do is start at 22 and work my way down to find what works the best. Good luck!

 

Depending on the track mine work good between 16-18 psi

 

good stuff what do you guys do to fill them back up? my drags there is no air station, I have an air compressor that I could fill at home and take to the drags but that seems a bit extreme?

 

Find the closest gas station

 

I always carry an air tank with me.

 

I have 245/50/16 nitto drags. (my first set).

DD, all street driven in town.

I have 4000 miles on them, and I'm on the tread markers in the center, and about 1mm from the markers on the outside.

22 psi.

They are night and day difference in terms of traction on the street this way (vs. a street tire).

But, obviously, they don't last AT ALL!! I was hoping to get 10k out of them. Not a chance.

And the rainy season is on its way........ (wife's not gonna be happy that I'm buying tires this soon).

 

yeah i bought a set for the rear only to allivate some of that price, but 4000 miles jeez then you get slicks!

 

"I have 4000 miles on them, and I'm on the tread markers in the center, and about 1mm from the markers on the outside."

Damn! You must spin your tires every time you take off from a stop. I've had three sets of the Nitto drag radials so far and I got 14,000 miles out of the last set. The first set was replaced at 12,000 miles but still had tread left. My current set is looking like they will last over 15,000 miles.

 

do you have a set of 4? goldz

 

I guess I made it sound like I do. I should have said pair instead of set. I'm running stock Goodyear F1s up front with the NT555DRs in the rear.

 

I am running the same setup. They still have the colored stripes and some of the little rubber spiky thingies on them (gotta love new tires).

Anyway I have the rears at 25psi and the fronts at 32psi. Works good for me so far but its just been street driven. I can't comment about racing.

 

GoldZ-what psi are u running? I ordered 2 yesterday and will probably have them mount/balanced friday...
