gonna try again!!!
gonna try again!!!
Well,Gonna go to the track tomorrow and see if i can not spin the whole way down the track.Right now I have 87 iroc "16" wheels,which I spun down the track with.Would you recomend letting out some air pressure or just running some 15x9 centerlines that i have.I got this big problem with hooking up at the track.Any help would be great.Btw...what PSI would yu reccomend?

I would get some M/T et streets or BFG drag radials, run them at 20 psi and go lower if its not hookin. On regular radials try about 25 psi, no lower.

You only let air out for slicks. Street radial tires will give you less traction with lower air because the sidewalls are so stiff they won't fold over. Instead the center of the tire will raise up only giving traction on the outer edges of the tire. Street radial tires work best at 32-35 psi. They also won't heat up in the water box the way a slick will so drive around the water box (to the inside away from the debris that they sweep out of it) and do a short dry hop to clean off the tires.
