I usually get between 2-1/2 to 3 years out of them, racing about a dozen times a season with a ton of street driving. I'm right on the edge of hooking with that small a tire with an 8" converter, so that's why I assume I need to fry them. If I could run a 295 or so I doubt much burnout would be needed. However I'm screwed by the lack of room under an early A-body.

If the others dont have your weight on the back end
the most they can say is what they run and at most
it MIGHT be close.... weight is the MAJOR factor
on that or any size tire to pressure to get the
best foot print

I run 20 psi at the track and on the street. 295-65 M/T
I hope you're not expecting them to hook on the street.

If you keep changing the tire pressure from street to track, you are changing how the tire loads from outside edges to the middle. I pick a pressure after some track testing and leave it.




I agree 100%. I went from 22 at the track the first time out and dropped them to 18. 325x15x50's on 10" prostars. Never looked back. On the flip side, when I was on the street, I had them at 28 but only for cruzin...
