Default Re: Radial slick pressure

My Nova weighs 3575 and goes 1.41 off the transbrake. On at 10" wide rim, I've tried everything from 16 - 26 with the Hoosier 9" radial and the car always works the same. I use air pressure to try to get even wear across the tire.

I've pretty much settled on 17 psi but I still wear the centers out first, and that's even with the wide rim. I usually check the tires before the first and second passes of the day, and then I don't bother. I don't use the line-lock on the burnout; very short. The car just works and I'll get 150-200 passes from a set but I don't use the lightweight version.
