Michelin PS2, 32 front 29 rear, 1.72 best 60, still trying to figure out the magic launch and get into the 1.6 range, I just spin, either spin and move forward or like I am in water which results in 1.9 60's. Good luck, got RT-615's now but lights at the track were messed up last time so no documented times with the Falkens yet, but they hook great on the street.

Does tire psi make a diiference in our cars? If so what should my psi be if My front tires slip? I know if you have a rwd car with slicks you want to run a lower psi but with awd Im not sure

ok,i was wondering that all that 1.6-1.7 60ft was with drag radial.now i see it wasnt.so lower the front tire pressure and a good launch at 6k with 2 step will do the trick,thanks boys.

it depends on the tire.... i have a taller tire, so the sideways are softer, so when i drop the tire pressure the tires squat alot more than the stock height sidewall... so that means im benefiting more.


This was the closet thing i can think of besides a drag radial since i cant daily that in Fl with all the rain, thats an accident waiting to happen. Worked out like i had hoped, i got them mainly to be able to launch hard on the street, on the track you can make anything hook.


Cheers!
