I've got a dumb question. I've got a new set of P315/60R-15's what air pressure is everyone running on the street with these things? Dave

Well I tryed 26#'s, stopped out on my semi-private test track. I dropped it in low, nailed it, shifted to 2nd and had to get out of it or I'd have waded it up in the ditch. I'll try 18lbs. next go around, the tires still seem like they're too hard yet. It probably won't make much difference, this truck motor just makes a pile of tire shreading torque. Dave

On a bad track the bias plys M/T ET Streets work better than the raidals do ( I use the same aize on my Duster, not as much power as yours )On a good trak the radials are faster by up to or more than 1/10 second in the 1/4 mile Put some big tires on it Dave

Hey Cab!, These are my street tires only. I've got a set of M/T 14-32.5 radial drag slicks for the track.
At 26 lbs. of air the ride on the ET Streets is very harsh. I'll keep dropping the air pressure and see what happens. Dave

Dave what size rims are you running with the ET Streets? That brand/size is what I am looking at for the Junkyard truck.

Radials at 15?? they don't "cup" I was told not to go under 18 w/ the radials. I even tried 16 once and they didn't hook at all. I've had both ethe MT radials and the Hoosiers ran both at 30 on the street and 18-19 at the track.

My ET Radials never hook on the street. And they don't hook at the track without a healthy burnout first. Many folks indicate that very little burnout is needed, but I have found the burnout to be critical to their hook.

Fry them first and then try your launch test. You should see a noticeable difference.

I forgot to mention mine have worked well on good tracks at 22 to 18 lbs of pressure on MY GAUGE Once they( the radails) start to spn they will not recover like the bias plys do I have to let off to let them grab and then try again, I do let off and shift it in first gear, that will work most of the time I have had them break loose in high gear on the street when I've got a wild a-- urge to floor it over 45 MPH, my converter flashes to 5500 or so

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.

So how many passes do you get out of a set of tires when you fry them each pass? I am curious how well/long they last for street and track driving when ran that hard each burnout.
thanks
