i have a turbo 7thgen with a set of bfg drag radials on honda hx wheels. the wheels are either 215/60/14 or 215/50/14 (i forget because i dont have them right in front of me now and i just bought them). what psi should i run them at for the track?

this is my setup

 

i uselly had mine at around 12psi tire shine on drag radials

thats the pic the guy took before he sold them to me. i wiped it all off when i got them

 

Every track and setup will be different, keep that in mind. Start at about 15psi and work from there. I used to run mine (205/50/15's) when I had my NA car at like 13psi and cut 1.9 60's. When I had the 225/50's on the LS-T it seemed the lower I went the harder they hooked (ended up at 9psi. cutting high 1.8's, low 1.9's) . BTW, BFG's love heat

What is wrong with that?

 

Tire shine=slippery and therefore defeats the purpose of sticky drag radials.

Like the sidewall has any affect on that

i have ran mine anywhere from 6-14.they seemed to work best for me at about 7-8psi

 

should have got 205/50/14's

 

I ran mine around 10psi and cut a 1.81 60ft in a LS-T EG Hatch ...

i dunno know, depending on his gearing and power, the 215/60/14 is better.
i went from 205/50/14's to 215/60's and got much better times cause i was able to put the power down better and not go into fifth.
now i went to 225/50/15's

 

Whats wrong with the shine?I think it would come off in the burnout box.

 

bfg's and azenis alike ? run them 15psi and go lower frm there ?

 

falkens are NOT drag radials

 

falken azenis are not for drag......if u use it for drag then u are gay......they are for drifting and road racing not drag racing.........bfg drag are for <U>DRAG</U>!! duh......

no im not gay. i got me some MT a couple wks ago haven't used them yet. reading up on stuff learning. i got mixed up w/ the other bfg's ... my bad...

 

i went as low as 8 psi but the best is from 10-12psi i ran a 2.0 60ft with 186 whp...

 

wow after reading this, i guess i'm definetely going to lower the pressure on mine this weekend.

 

ran 9 psi in mine today. was only able to cut a 1.95 on this shitty cold unprepped track. managed a 12.80 @ 113

 

12psi is the lowest reccomended by bfg.....
ran many 1.71 60'
