Default What tires sizes adn PSi do you run

Im currently running on some steelie 195/50/15's... So far im seeing a good results w/ 30 psi up front and 40-45psi out back... feels pretty good... Tho i have a pretty good place to practice. the other day it was raining up here adn decided to take a run on river side drive I was damn stoked i nalled good angle drift from under the lee bridge "richmond va" up the entrance and onto the bridge itself... im hoping that i can get a vid of it next time...



(the section in red is the drift i nailed in the rain. not to fast ruffly 35-40 mph) ^^^^

river side drive is about 2 miles long. w/ a few very tight spots. not alot of speed in there but definatly takes a bit of balls to get thru. reason being is that theres boulders on the side of the road. and trees on the other. over all i love that road....

down fall is waht keep you on the the road from going over the edge "60 feet or so" is big boulders in some areas a small gaurd rail in others. While most of it is either just trees or 6x6 post w/ 3 - 1 inch wires going thru it... Wish alot of ya where he to run it... nufn but good times...

Given the choice, 205-50 or 215-45 on 7" and 8" wide wheels, respectively. Psi for front is 35 hot and 35-40 hot rear.

Most high performance tires are available in 205-50 for good reason.

yeah i got the 195's for cheap like 60 bucks cheap mounted and balanced... So i really couldnt complain. I'm getting another set for free tomarrow So again i cant complain. 85% tire tread as well...


I actaully got in an agruement w/ a kid recently about tire psi. he was trying to tell me that my 30psi and 45psi would make me grip more.... lol..


Mike yeah i hear that i tried 52 psi on them last week adn let just say my ass end came out alot faster than before.... fun times...
