Tire Pressure?
Tire Pressure?
Hey guys im prob going to the track on Saturday, and i was wondering what's optimal psi for Falken Ziex 512 in the front and back? I was thinking 20-22 in the front, and 45-50 in the back?
The higher the better in the back, as high as you are willing to go (though you won't see much difference increasing it anyways. I never touch the rear tire pressures because honestly it makes so little difference).
In the front I just run normal street pressure unless I'm getting wheelhop, if I get wheelhop I drop it a little bit.

I've never gone above 40PSI in the rear...and wow does it make driving home (if you can't be bothered lowering again after) a real task.
Usually sit @ 25PSI on the front...any lower and I tend to bog down off the line...maybe need more lowering / hard engine mounts / I don't know what.

Well...I run BG Potenza G3 235/45 ZR17's...Caesar tells me that the new T-1R TOYO tyre is much better though because it provides better wet weather grip, is lighter (I think he said) and has a much stronger side wall.
When I did my first 1/4 I found out later that my fronts were 15 and 17PSI...no wonder I a-ssed it.
