what air pressure do you guys running et streets seem to get the best traction with on the strip. i have 28/11.50/15. david

My ET Streets are 26 x 10.5 x 15 and they seem to hook the best at 12.5 lbs of pressure.
I hope this helps,
Nick

the best way is to experiment

you want the quickest sixty time w/o losing too much mph

haven't run mine below 15 yet

w/ a t-brake and those gears you're prob'ly lookin' low

good luck

I ran those tires on my 69 with 7" ralleys and they worked from 11-12 psi depending on track conditions. The car only ran 7.50's 1/8 mile then though.

David, I agree with what has been posted about experimenting with the pressures. One thing to consider is the footprint or width of the tire tread after a burn-out/spin.The pressure that gives you the footprint width of your tire is the one to use.Use the pressures given in the posts and see which has the best footprint.You can adjust from there. :D

Whats the maximum psi for ET streets/drags? I never took mine above 15psi and my car isn't much of an animal off the line so do you think raising the pressure would increase the tires life and make it more stable driving around on the street?
