M/T ET Streets

May take the easy way out and just bolt on some ET Streets. What do ya'll think I should set tire pressure at? Start higher and gradually decrease tire pressure for each run, or start relatively low and increase?

Thanks,
TC

I'd start at about 14 psi and they should hook, if not then go a bit lower 12 psi 11... etc. hope this help and made sense

What size streets are you using. I don't think you'll need to run them that low.
My car sounds very similar to your times. I run the 26x11.5x16 and use 20 psi. They hook great even with that much air.

I think they are 28 diameter tires on 15" wheels.

What about driving to the track, if I choose,...what psi for normal driving?

20 PSI is fine....I drove on mine all summer like that and they should last at least through next season.

Must not be many cops in your parts pulling you over.

ET Streets are DOT legal so the cops really couldn't give you any lip about it as long as the "tread" and I use that term losely, is still there.
