drag racing Michelin tire pressures

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

Hey all, I sort have looked through the archives about tire pressure suggestions for the stock Michelins. I'm doing some racing this saturday and would like to get some ideas. I remember at the Topeka V10 event lowering the rears to 24 psi or so and upped the front about 5 psi but I think the majority of tweaked theirs more than I. Thanks in advance.

What you used above isn't bad you might try going down to about 20psi but i don't know if it will help you much more, there is only so much you can get out of the michelins for traction. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I'm attending a car show in Atwood, KS. they shut down the airstrip (small) and let the cars do some 1/4'ing. Im anxious to see how my new mods do. I'll get a more accurate reading at Topeka this June since I ran there bone stock last year.

I ran 21lbs in mine at Bradenton and ran 10:8, of course the track was PREPED!
