i am going to track in a few days and i was wondering what is the ideal tire pressure to run in the tires. i am using the stock 13 inch rims if that makes any kind of a difference.

 

~28-30 psi should do it. what size are your tires?

 

i dont know off hand but they are the stock size, not anything special

 

I would try somthing as low as 20-25psi. What tires are you using?

 

they are just cheap stock tires that came with the car but have very good tread.

 

20 really sounds too low. i would venture into 25psi, but not any lower.

 

you really DECREASE traction by lowering the pressure on normal street radials because the sidewalls dont flex and travel as much as a drag radial or slick, so you lose alot of your contact patch.... just go about 7 psi below the reccomended inflation...... any lower and you lose contact patch....

 

thank you

 

no prob, glad i could help

 

7 psi below stock ~28 psi right?
