How much psi do some of you guys/girls run in your dragslicks. I have mine at 18psi right now, and just curious what everyone else is running. Thanks.

 

24.5 x 9 x 13 MT's, with tubes = 7.5 psi

Later,
ZEX Man

 

It just depends on how the track is, I was up in vegas and my guy's were going up from 7-psi to 11-psi and even higher. John@M&H

 

7-8psi

 

6.5 psi 22x9x13 M&H 1.65 60' 12.4@108 allmotor nonvtec

 

john, 13x8x22(might not be the right size) size slick, what psi?

 

smokey: try starting at 12 psi and work your way down as you need to. If it feels like you're still spinning the tire at the launch... drop 1psi at a time and see when it start feeling good and hooking up.

Why do you think this is the wrong size slicks? I will IM you. John@M&H

thankx will

 

Mine hooks best between 7 and 8psi depending on track conditions.

 

Usually about 9-10, going lower get's shakey up top IMO. WHOAH! I will try different air pressures this year again. I have cut a 1.67 60' before with 9psi in the slicks 24.5x7x13

what size slick jared?

 

SOHC Civic
20x8x14 MT's at 12 psi
20x6x14 MT's at 14 psi

22x8x13's M&H will get it next.

BTW 1.816 from a 20x8x14 MT at 12 psi?????
Why yes I did!!!

 

ya bone.. i was surprised at those 20x8x14 M/T when I was able to cut a 1.7 60ft.
I was always stuck at 1.83's. GOOD SLICKS!

 

damm, now i'm confused. will a 22x8x13 slick be the the right choisce for my 88 crx, the set up i have there now is making 200 WHP. i would like to know, before i put money into a set of rims and slicks! TIA

 

Yes John@M&H

 

Smokey, 22x8x13 is a tad small for 200whp. Might be just right depending on your axle ratio. If you have really short gears you might want a 23" or 24.5" slick.

dude, thanks for the input, but john@M&H cleared things up for me. we spoke for about 20-30 minutes, he went over my final drive and gear ratios. he made me understand why the 8/22-13 slick will work in my application, but he also made me understand that if i fork up 500 bucks on some 8/13" rims that my money would be well spendt! john@M&H gets from me

 

I'm stepping up to the 22x8x13 M&H slicks as soon as money allows. (singlecam SLEEPER, thanks for the ET's!)

John@M&H, I watched a set of M&H slicks be DESTROYED in one day with only 12 passes. A new Neon SRT-4 driver had a set of 15" slicks at 6 psi. After 6 passes I could no longer read the slick size on the sidewall!!!!!!!

Exospeed and others, the 20x8x14 MT NEED at 14x7-8" rim. I've always ran mine on a TSW Alpine 14x6 rim and have suffered wear issues. I get bad wear on the outer edges and the slicks last about 150-200 passes. I went thru my second pair. A buddy with same slicks on 14x7 rims has 225 passes with even wear.

I do WARM up the slicks......this is how they were the most consistant........



Mind you I'm not a big name racer, but I know MY setup. I have 500+ passes on slick in MY car, I know how it SHOULD react. 700+ passes in my car since I've owned it.


I launch at 7000 rpm or MORE with the SOHC, juice or no juice!!!!!!!

 

I run 7psi in my 25x8x13 M&H's, no tubes. Heres a pic of them hard-at-work, hehe

Do you know why you Destroyed the slick and could not read the # on the sidewall , because you were running ( TOO LOW OF AIR PRESSURE ) and the M&H slicks were not designed too run that low, would you go down the freeway with your passenger tires @ 6-psi I don't think so. John@M&H

 

I ran my M/T 20x8x14 on some Bogart 14x8 wheels
they looked good

Just to clarify John, Mistabone wasn't theone who ruined his slicks, he said it was some Neon SRT4 driver that did it.
