What's the lowest tire pressure or the best tire pressure you guys have used on the street to make them hook? I'm having some trouble with mine set at 16psi. I'm around 600+hp and 500+tq. I just haven't been able to put my AMS-1000 in yet so I was trying to see if it will hook at full power. Thanks.

 

We run 9psi in ours.

 

What mph are you hooking at and how much power are you throwing at it?

 

Everyones setup is different and so are the road conditions, so you are going to have to play around with the tire PSI for your own setup to find that "sweet spot". Start off at 12psi and do some test passes and lower it 1-2psi and see if it improves by looking at your VSS datalogs to see wheel spin. This is a great tire to drive on the street. Mine hooks in 3rd and 4th with 600+whp. Just have to be careful for bumps/potholes and go slow on the turns because on my hatch it doesn't like to do full turns without rubbing on those 26" tires.

 

I ran 28-30psi on the street cause the sidewall made the ride to sketchy under that. On the track I had them down around 9psi or so hot and they hooked good with 420whp in 1st and 2nd and 550whp 3rd and 4th

 

i run
18 if im just going out for a drive.
12 if im going to beat on it
and 8 if shes on kill

all on the street

 

How do they do @ 600whp? I need to know cuz ill be there soon

 

they rock. but im only making 352tq

race gas will be the real test

 

Ummm im going for 650whp, dont expect the motor to make more than 370-380tq.. its a 84mm B17 which is the same size as a 81mm gsr lol....i only made a solid 320tq last year...

My 205/50/15's neo gens would hook on new pavement @ full power in 3rd, but on normal road it spun hard in 3rd

 

I ran these tires for awhile on my hatch when it was turbo'd. I think I had about 25psi in mine for normal driving. I didnt make as much power as anyone who has posted in here and I could roast them 1st-2nd gear at around 400whp on my last setup. I am not sure what the torque was, but it could not have been much (stock B18C). At the track I would air them down to 8psi or so and I was still having some problems with the 60'. I do not blame it on the tires, it was my car not set up just right. I tore that engine up before I got to really dial it in with those tires.

 

I daily drove 450+whp at about 25psi and went down to 10-15 when i was running people, never went below 10 at the track as i never had a chance to really dial the car due to other issues. Boost by gear was the only reason my car ran as well as it did on the street, regardless of the tires.

 

I tried the car out last night on lower pressure doing some rolling burn outs in 2nd and 3rd first and it hooked on one pass, 4th gear rolling from 80+mph. This was at around 12psi cold. They need to get warmed up for sure for them to work nice. Just hard for me to hook 500+wtq with the powerband I have. Gonna try 10psi cold and see how that goes.

 

on my 235/60/15 hoosier qtps..i got them down at 9psi "warm" on the street. boost by gear, but only helps so much w/ a 2.4 and very short 1st and 2nd gear gearing.

 

can these fit on a stock fender gsr? If I'm not mistaken that would be equivalent to a 26" tall tyre?

 

Yes, i've seen them on an 94+ integra before. You're going to need to jack the coilovers almost all the way up though. Yeah, they are just a bit bigger than 26".

 

I just dont understand the need for this. I have a 405 whp EG Coupe, that donsent hook up all that great on the street and it is still too much for the street. Even when I turn it to 11 PSI (365HP) and it hooks good it still too much for the street.

I mean it is just completely unsafe and unessessary to want to go " THAT " crazy on the street. You have a 600 HP in a Civic and you are "trying to see if it will hook at full power".? on the street?. For what?? Seriously before you give me ****, answer that question. You are simply putting your life in danger. Which, honestly, I could care less about, its the unfortunate 20 year old, Straight A, college student and mother/father of one, you cross into lanes with and kill, because your super fast civic broke loose at 85 MPH, that I care about.

There is simply ABSOLUTLEY NO need for this discussion.
I should be suprised a Mod hasnt locked this thread b.c. it borders on condoning "street racing" but I am not.


This is of course just my 2 cents and someone will prolly give me **** for it but the truth is its not needed. And dont misunderstand me I am not some Mid 40's, Slightly balding, married, father of 3. Simply a 22 yr old, engaged, college grad who has a problem with retards like you, that get all Honda Enthusiast, lumped into one group that gets badged with a bad name.

go **** your self...

 

start with them around 10psi.you should really switch to a mickey thompson radial though works alot better

 

Have you tried both? Why would they be better compared to a bias ply as far as traction is concerned?

 

i couldt say exaclty why but i can tell they work,i use them on my street car when i had it and put down close to 800hp in 4th gear and and about mid 600s in 3rd gear.i couldnt do that when i ran the hooser qtps

 

I ran m/t's w/ 500whp and it wouldn't stick in 4th w/ the m&h's hooked ok in 2nd and don't really spin in 3rd

 

nos51's car is set up right for traction. Didn't you get really close to 8's on a 62mm? It looked absolutely awesome with the radials on it in the few pics I seen of it.

 

Here's my ride on the QTPs. You can see I had to jack it up. Looks like a 4x4 lol but I had zero rub issues. I never ran them over 19psi, I didnt feel the drive was unsafe. I agree tho, go with the M&Hs over the QTPs. The QTPs are insanely light but the treadware was awful!

 

its not just tire its also careful boost by gear and suspension.trust me we makes those tires work on the street

 

Here's a pic of the 235 60 m&hs on my car. Best radial I've ever had my hands on. I have qtps, bfgs, mts, and 555rs.

I put mine at ~20psi if I was getting on the interstate with it, 12psi if I was running around town. Even at 25psi, they out hook my qtps on low pressure. There different around corners, their bias ply, they feel similar to a slick going down pit roads. Under accel, they are smooth and very easy to handle. They are super gummy, and out hook any slicks I have on the street. The indicators go past the tread looking like slick when the tread is gone. I was amazed that the tread life is so good on them. They get a lot more life than a bfg. Launching them on the street, you can actually hear them grabbing and hooking. The tires have a hollow ripping sound like atv tires grabbing on pavement when you launch it. They'd do great with a prepped lane.

1st picture, Bitch is a beast like this from a ~40 roll. Its about like a newer liter bike when it makes ~550whp.

2nd picture, Put a 3pc on it, went with the star 8s on 27" MTs, thing sucks from a ~40.

Now I'm going back to the m&h street and strip, but larger in a 275 50 15 using the exospeeds.

Its all about charting out the boost with these tires and ramping the power in.

m&h [win]


larger 27" mts [fail]
