Basically I just purchased a pair of these tyres today & will be fitting them up tomorrow to a pair of AU 17x8 wheels but wasn't sure on what pressure to run for the strip. What is everyone running in these tyres? Is it worth going part air part nitro or full nitro? Your input is greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Posted 09/08/12 11:26 AM Share Posted 09/08/12 11:26 AM 20psi would be a bit too high I think. Mine lights up pretty easily 17-18psi so try anything between 13-16psi?

Is it recommended?

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 7m 16d Posted 10/08/12 12:06 AM Share Posted 10/08/12 12:06 AM Nitro's a cold gas as opposed to air and won't heat up like air when you do a burnout. Im pretty sure nitro was just designed for road cars to keep the tyre's cooler and reduce tyre wear for your average joe blow 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81351-nitto-nt05r-2754017-tyre-pressure-air-air-nitro-nitro/#findComment-1277072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TALEB TYRES Member 131 Member For: 14y 22d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/12 10:22 PM Share Posted 10/08/12 10:22 PM We've found the falcon+nitto combo go better on the strip with higher pressure, try a pass on 30-32 next time and you should be pleasantly surprised.Nitrogen is handy for track/drag purposes when you dont want the pressure to fluctuate, when the tyres/air heat up air pressure rises, this doesnt happen with Nitrogen so you can see the advantage when you are trying to control every variable.
