Default Gotta' be an answer ...

After going through several types and sets of drag radials on the rear corners, I have experimented with tire pressure to try and stop the wear of the center crown. No matter what tire pressure I run, the center crown wears down past the tread bar while the inner and outer edges remain at 70-75% tread. This last pair of Nitto's did the same thing and I have only been running 16 pounds of air in them for the past 8 months. MT street DR's have doen the same thing. what am I missing here?

That's strange. I would think with only 16lbs of air they wouldn't wear that way. You doin burnouts/racing with em?

I drive it hard, but, no burnouts. It's a mystery to me ... haven't raced it at the dragstrip yet ...just a few street races here and there when I'm not in any traffic ... pretty much dead start and low-roll racing.
