I run about 16 lbs in my MT drag radials. Is that a good starting point for my 14-32 radial slicks. Automatic transmission, 3600 lbs.

On my demon which weighs 3000 with me in it my Hoosier was around 8-9lbs

Was they radials ?????? would not think so

I'll have to check the are in my trailer now because I'm running Goodyear's 14-31 now

That sounds more like the pressure for a bias ply
slick.. a radial will be higher... but like usual
the car weight and traction will dictate pressure

I would set them at a minimum of 50 lbs.

Especially when you're grudge racing against the '63 330...

Generally those Radial slicks need to be in the 18-22lb range from my experience with the MT radial.

Just don't sleep at the line, like last week.

I run M/T 14.5 x 33's on a 3500lb Super Stock with a 4-link and the pressure generally runs between 14.5 and 15 lbs to produce the best 60ft times.

I don't use the M/T anymore, using Phoenix radial 13-14 on a usually hotter track here in the south. I had bad radial wobble with the M/T.

Actually, that is the tire, I am running. Are you having good luck with it?

I run 16 to 18 in my 30 x 9 Hoosier radial slicks and it hooks fine all the time. Ron

I have used them all, Phoenix is the only tire I use now.

I tried the M/T radials in 15x33 when they first cam out, 3000 lb car, going 8.70s. Radial :wobble: was terrible, pressure had to be about 14 psi minimum but very little higher or no traction. Fastest passes the car ever made though, for the fuel and conditions. 60 fts were in the 1.27 range on the best day, biased slicks would go 1.24 but loose ET down track.

Thanks for the help. Think I'll start around 17 and see how it feels.

I went with 17 lbs, and it hooked good enough to make me spend next week rebuilding the oil pan. Those tires work well.
