Default What PSI for DD ET streets

I just bought 2 10.5x26x16 ET streets for the rear for my DD. What PSI should I run them at?

Also, how unsafe are they in the rain? Can I still take them on the HW if I'm careful or is that going to be a no go? Thanks

I wouldnt ever drive them in the rain...... id say over 15 mph they will make the rear start coming around to kiss the front. Even with Drag Radials i slow down to 40-45mph on the highway IF im caught out in the rain...

Alrigth thanks. Looks like my GF will do all the HW driving in the rain. I should be fine to work though, its a 40mph drive 5 miles down the road =)

What PSI is the best to run on the street?

I usually kept my 28x11.5x15 et streets (with tubes) on my old car at 16 lbs (cold) on the street and lowered them from there at the track. I bet m/t's website has recommended specs for that size tire.
