I just got a set of 235/60-15 m&h dots for my turbo crx. I haven't taken it to the track ever and was just wanting to know how much of a difference is there with a good burnout and airing down the tires? I have them set on ~23psi for the street and the spin 2nd from a roll at 430whp. I've heard they can hook that much power in 1st at the track so does the low tire pressure (8-12psi) and burnout really do that much?

I ran them at 15ps around 600whp and it would still haze the tires in 5th on the street tire pressure didn't seem to make much of a difference, I would definitely do a burn out on them

thanks. I aired them down to 12psi and they are way better. I imagine at the track with 9psi and a good burnout they would do pretty good with full boost (430whp) in all gears.

Dang that's a tall tire on the front of a CRX.

I don't think it's too bad. I need it to hook anything under 4th gear on the street...

i noticed a huge difference airing them down on the street. i run them around 12 - 15 psi on the street. mind you dont go around any corners faster then like 20mph lol. i have my car raked forward a tad and my rear suspension are 16ks on stiff. so the car doesnt squat. that may help. i hook over 500 in third and over 600 in 4th on a gsr gearset.

heres a vid. probably 700whp in 4th. car made 639 on 27 psi and that run was well over 30 psi.

I ran 9 psi in them at 662whp and still spun all the way through 3rd gear.

thanks guys. I have them at 12psi cold now and they do pretty well. With 434whp they are good in 3rd on and just spin a little bit at the top of 2nd. I have noticed though if I do and nice pull and slow down the next time they will grip way better. I did 3 pulls in a row and when I slowed down I could hear rocks and everything sticking to the tire.

I have run them around 8-8.5 psi at the track. Yielded our best 60's. No lower than 12 on the street. Seems to do pretty well.

im changing my tires to the 235 50 15 r888s to see how they are. people claim there better. ( for highway pulls with cold tires )
