i just got a set of 22x8x15 MT ET Drag Slicks.
What is the best pressure to run them at?
Anything under 15 psi looks flat..
Somebody help me out.. Thanks

I found that 17 PSI worked great for my set-up. I also was trying to promote a little wheelspin off of the line. The slick can be run down to 12 PSI (possibly lower) but the short sidewall will make it look like it is flat. Don't forget that these are "wrinkle wall" slicks.

 

i was running like 15 psi and they didnt work for me like they should .
run em down at like 11-12, thatl do the trick .

 

I was running mine at 8-10 pounds for the perfect traction

 

thanks guys.. what launching techniques can you all suggest?
drop the clutch or slip it?..

 

i drop it like its hott

 

thanks.. i'll try it next time at the track...

 

run about 10lbs. i usually lauch around 6.8-7k rpms dumping the clutch

 

the problem is that the slicks are 22x8x15... they have less sidewall than small diameter rims.. when i use 10 lbs it almost looks like i'm ruining them..
please help me out.. thanks..

 

i have the exact same tires. i go no lower then 10lbs on poor condition tracks like palmdale for a little extra bite. at fontana, i runa bout 11lbs, 12 at most.

 

I like to run at 9 psi on 24.5's. They will heat up after every run are you checking them.

 

m/t doesn't sugguest on doing burn out in the water box, so what are you guys doing instead? dry burn out? no burn out??? i'll gona try my type R anyone know what i should rev to or on how i should lanuch?

 

rocket_R, are you going to Fontana this weekend?

 

no, i'm not in that area, but i am going to hot import nights this weekend in chicago.

 

of course they dont...they want you to rip through as many tires as you can.

Do a wet burnout, at the front edge of the waterbox.

 

11-12lbs ,not lower then 10lbs
launch at 7k-7500

 

thanks.. i figured it out on my last run....hahah
