plan on going to track soon,i have nitto 555 315"s and was wondering what psi to run at track,i read the stickys and saw 12 to 15psi for drags is that a correct psi for the nitto's?

a little low at PRP, IMO start at 20.

FX4DTUF · July 1st, 2009, 10:12 PM

i would do 20 also

oh yeah & come out on a saturday (race day) as they don't do a whole lotta track prep on test & tune days & there isn't a whole lot of people there to help you figure stuff out (most guy's at test & tunes are newby's also). let us know if your gonna make it.

I like 15 psi. Test out different levels.

I usually set my Nitto 555Rs at 15PSI.

good luck at our track (same track o/p will be going to) with d/r's & a stick (very very few run them) at 15psi.

Start high, it's easier to let air out than to put air in. I'd start around 20.

+1 start at 20 and ease her down.

I generally run 1.8x to 2.0x 60' times on the Nitto 315/35/17s at 15PSI.

I know other tires are better for the strip but these never come off the car...
