I had 13.5 pounds in mine...11.5 by 28 qtp's...seemed to work extremely well there. You want as much air in them as you can get away with, that was with 002/003's. Don't want to drag flat tires down the track

Dave your rear weight will dictate what it wants for
tire pressure... being that your running a wider tire
than those that posted your should be a bit lower..
testing is the only way to find out... thats a pretty
wide tire for a 10" rim

actually the 13.5 QTP is only 11 inches wide, the 14.5 is 12 inches, and the 11.5 is 10 inches

My 28x11.5 Hoosier QTP's like 13-13.5 lbs as well (with Caltracs). I've gone down to 11.5lbs, but that got scary on the big end with the slightest cross breeze.

I have 31x16.50-15 QTP's (13" on the ground).The sweet spot for my junk is 12.5 psi most times. Seems to be the best compromise between a good hook and a white knuckle top end charge.

I am. With 27 x 10,5.
But i have never been to a good track yet.
But i will on the 17th. On the bad tracks it hooks better every time i lower the prssure but at 12psi it gets scary up top so i havent been lower than that.
