First off, I've never drag raced before. I love to autocross the Integra but have decided to see how slow my 94 RS with only and intake and 12.5 pound flywheels really is in Colorado.

Anyways, I have some questions about tire pressure. I have 205/45/16 Kumho Escta 712's on some 16 inch slipstreams and was wondering what the ideal tire pressure should be for the fronts and the rears. Maybe 25 front and 40 rear?

Thanks for helping a noob drag racer

 

I have the rota subzero w/ the kumho ecsta 205/45/16's as well. I've tried time after time to get good 60ft times with the kumhos and they just suck ***. I got better 60ft times with my old bald Bridgestone RE92's. Right now I have Nitto drag radials on 14 inch steelies. For the fronts I always started from about 28ish and worked my way down. The bad thing is that the 45 sidewall is so short that if you go too low the tire looks like it'll literally come off the rim. So just experiment--practice, practice, practice.
