Tire pressure poll for 26x10.5x15 ET Streets! I almost lost it! Who ever reads this thread and has run or does run on these et streets please post a suggestion with any other info that I could benefit from.
I have stock suspension with Hotchkis lwr Control arms and sub frame connectors. I went to HRP last night and ran with my front runners and et streets for the first time. Someone told me to start with like 17psi---it handled like crap!! i know its a different ride but this was bad!! I spoke to someone else at the track and he said if its swaying too much lower it some more---IT got worse!!! I had to let off evertime i sprayed and almost lost it on my last run!! Today I talked to a guy with a 10 sec vette that runs the same tires and he said he goes no lower than 28psi. What psi should i run?????

the lower the pressure the better it will hook, but the more it will sway at the high end.
just keep playing with the pressure til you find a medium ground that your comfortable with. ive had mine as low as 10 or 12 psi
mine are the same size on a 16 inch wheel if that makes a difference

True on the swaying of car if too low. Becomes dangerous at lower pressure. I have run mine at 12 psi and it was too scary. 13 is as low as I'll go now.
