Shane,

what tire pressure are you running in your ET Street tires when driving on the street? Are you using tubes?

My car kept getting stupid if I ran less than 17lbs cold in the tires. I could have been able to run much less, but I run wide tires up front. Skinnies up front will allow you to run a lot less pressure in the back and still go straight.

Hello.

Yeah, I've been pretty busy with school, work and my girlfriend...haven't had much time for anything else.

Olivier:
I ran 18lbs of air in my ET Streets. No I did not run tubes. I also ran 18lbs of air at the strip. This seemed to work the best for me. Man I need to stop back more often LOL.

The 'Vette is put away for the winter. I haven't driven it for over a month. I kinda got bored for a while with it. I now have the urge again so I'm hoping to start purchasing parts for the Camaro this winter and get it on the street come spring/summer time.

18 psi is pretty high for those tires... Most people around here run 12 psi on the track... If 18 psi will work fine for the street - I'm going to go with 18 psi... On the track - I'm thinking in running 12 - 13 psi...
