Drag radial?
Ordering a set of drag radials to help the truck get off the line.. 255-60-15 what pressure would be a good all around to start? It's a street truck but will be towed to the track!as you can see by the time I need more traction!!!!

Re: Drag radial?
Thx kind of excited to see if it will 60' with air ride suspension.. Wife thinks I'm crazy for putting drag radials on a truck with air ride built to go to shows and cruise....

Re: Drag radial?
How wide is the wheel? That had a role in tire pressure.
With a12" wide wheel and a 315/60/15 dr, mine likes 12lbs cold, 13lbs hot.

Re: Drag radial?
Being tire contact patch is larger than rum diameter, I would say start at 16lbs.

Re: Drag radial?
Radials will be in Friday! Might be able to get them mounted but the dreaded rain (every weekend since end of April) is forecasted again!!!
