    Air pressure?

    I have FR500's 10.5 rear with Nitto 315's and I'm wearing the centers out at 28 psi (street use) so I was wondering what pressure to run them on the street with? I have them at 24 psi now.

    I never run my nitto drag radials at more than 25psi on the street for this very reason.

    This is my first experience with them and was wondering. I've driven back from Zelli (hour and half) with 18 psi in them and they handled ok.

    I usually run 28# in my drag radials. I haven't had problems with center wear but I usually don't beat on it that bad with those tires on there. If you tear away smokin the tires at every stop sign or light you will get wear no matter what the pressure.

    I try not to spin at all, the only time I get on it from a dig is at the track, flashlight drags or the rare street race.
