I'd start around 18 psi. If the car hooks good, you can add some pressure until it doesn't. Since you only get one time shot before the race, try it at 18..if it hooks, leave it alone.

I run 255/60's @ 19 psi. Used to run them 18 psi, but when I bumped them up a lb, I found my 60's were a little quicker.

If you have them on a 8 inch rim try 18 lbs, if on a 10 inch or wider rim try 20lbs Not all gauges read the same pressures on the same tire by the same person I have more than one tire gauge, two cheap Moroso 0 to15 lbs, a digital bycycle racing gauge and a real expensive low pressure (0 to 12 lbs in 16 of a lb increments) analog gauge. I now use one of them only, don't get your self confused by having multiple gauges Take the time to expermiment to find the best pressure for your car I ran M/T 325x6060x15 ET Street radials on both 12 inch and 10 inch wide rims, I ran them on my 3450 lb Duster, it like between 18 and 22 lbs them according to my notes on my gauge IHTHs

Adding pressure will make the car faster if you can keep em glued. From my experience w/ the radials, they will still hook really good down around 17 psi, but the track and your suspension better be good if you're gonna hook them w/ high pressure. That's why I said leave em alone at 18 psi if it hooked b/c you're only gonna get one time shot before eliminations. First round is not the time to try something new.
