Drag Radials

[DAVE94LIGHTNING]

Any experience with the Nittos Vs the BFg's?
and what routine do you use to run them?..Long burnout?..waterbox or dry?.and what Psi do you run them at?
Iv'e seen em usually being best when Hot and at about 15-20 psi, but this is on mustangs mainly. Any ideas?

Personally, I zip mine at the edge of the waterbox (drive around and back up) to reduce the load on the driveline and then do about a 4 second burnout - just enough to get a little smoke out of them. I also run them at 28 psi.

Frankly, I don't understand the logic of lower pressure in a radial tire. It's not like the sidewalls wrinkle. All that happens is the tread patch cups as the sidewalls start to roll under. These aren't soft-walled bias ply tires we're talking about here.

Later!
