Tire pressure for skinnies

[GoFaster06]

I have new Mickey Thompson ET fronts (skinnies) & want to know what psi to run them at for track. Nowhere on tire does it say max pressure. I'm running MT ET Streets @ 12-18 psi on back for reference. Thanks in advance.

I heard that you should run anywhere from 30-40psibut thats just what I heard from a guy at the track. I will have my skinnies soon as well so I would like to know this as well.

30 psi should be fine. Add pressure if your reaction times are a tick too quick, and vice-versa if they're a tick too slow.

I run mine at 45. But it is because the friggin cinder block we drive is so damn heavy that they nearly look flat at 30

Mine don't deform at all at 30 psi.

I run mine at 40 psi both on the street and track.

40-45 IMHO, Less rolling resistance the better

35psi...

I always ran mine at 45psi. Ran mid 10's for a year without any problems.

 

[NotQuik]

I always ran around 40 myself

Bringing this one back because my M/T Sportsman s/r 26x6x15 say 35psi max on the sidewall, and that's what I run. I would like to know if it's safe to run a bit more, because they do seem to have a lot of bulge on the bottom for being at max psi.

Yes you should be fine adding a little more air if it says max psi is 35 you should have no problems running them at 40.

Tire pressure

30 psi should be fine. Add pressure if your reaction times are a tick too quick, and vice-versa if they're a tick too slow.

I think you got it backwards!!

If your reaction time is to slow,add pressure.If your reaction time is to quick,reduce tire pressure.Or stage differently.

40 for me. I get some pretty good Reactions can't cinplain lol

I ran 40psi in my bias ply M&H runners under a 4000lb G8.

never heard that and it would be backwards anyway....

We run 40 psi in ours, 17 x 4 MT

I ran the skinnies on my Fox at the rated max psi on the tire. Drove, handles and stopped the best at that psi.

40-45 depending on the track
