I am a little surprised you run that low air pressure. I would think you could run 14-15 psi Last edited by 440Jim; 09/23/20 10:58 AM. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG).

I have tested pressures in 1/2 lb increments and my setup seems to like 13 lbs exactly. I run tubes with screws and all the sets i’ve run over the years had very very consistent performance. 1.50 60Ft. , 10.75@ 127MPH Hauling 3900 LBS.

Plenty of folks going low 1.teen 60's NA with that tire but on a wider wheel to spread the tire out "I am not ashamed to confess I am ignorant of what I do not know."

In the range of 150 runs on them, and they still look like they’ve got a full season left in them. My car was also quicker & faster with them vs ET Drags, and the consistency is impressive.
