Tire Pressure...

Any recommendations for this setup:

225/50-16 Nitto 555R's mounted on 16x7" Rota Slipstreams
FWD
(not sure if it matters, but..) Clutchnet 6 puck w/ Clutchmasters 8lb Flywheel.

What would your recommend for tire pressure? My rear is

205/45-16 mounted on 16X7" Rota Slipstreams.

Thanks.

-Mike

btw, not worried about MPH, looking for lower ETs

Start around 25 psi. and see how it grips. I know some people that run high psi (25+) and some that run low psi. (12-15 )

Move down to 20 the first time if you need to and then go down in 2 lbs. increments until it hooks. Do not go below 15 psi..

Since you are FWD do not forget to jack up the rear psi. to 40psi. for less rolling resistance.

eh, my best of the night...

R/T: .436
60': 2.161
330: 6.116
1/8: 9.338
MPH: 76.32
1000: 12.102
1/4: 14.420
MPH: 97.88

That was at 25PSI, took it down to 23psi and I wasn't able to get trackion .. all of my runs with 23psi were 14.6's, 60's were 2.3's.. but my MPH jumped up to 98mph... ah well...
