Slick to Drag Radial
i just took my 28x10.5 slicks off and put on a M/T 275/60 drag radial.

Any tips on tire pressure and also shock settings? Should i stiffen up the rear or soften it?

Re: Slick to Drag Radial
stiffen the rear up, get those tires planted and keep them that way. start at 19lbs of pressure in those radials that should be in the neighborhood pressure wise, what shocks are you running out back?
