4414, MH slicks - a good tire pressure? Posted by ner947, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I'm getting a pair of 8.5x24.5x13 MH radials and a pair of 13x8 8.5lb Bogart wheels, what's a good tire pressure to try first with these tires? I'm guessing around 20-25 PSI?

if ur woried about breaking ur axles run around 25 wont hook up as good but less chance of breaking a axle. if u have some nice upgraded ones i would go for 20psi how much did this combo cost u?

I have the Level 2 axles from The Driveshaft Shop. They should hold it...

About $850 from Extreme. For some retarded reason, Extreme claims that Bogart requires all orders to include <|these> dimensions and Extreme didn't have the stock 2G GS/RS/GST information on file, so I had to go and measure it myself. Oh well. I thought about getting skinnies for the rear, but I decided to save the cash until I'm convinced that I really need them.
EDIT: Ugh. DCForum doesn't like it when you try to make a HREF to a GIF. http://www.bogartracingwheels.com/diagram2.gi f

I use M&H Racemaster drag radials on the Z and usually I'll run about 17 psi. It's squirly at the trap but I got a 1.79 60' like that. ;)
