BFG Drag radials - a different question.
Just mounted mine. I was curious what air pressure you guys like when you are driving on them - either daily or to and from the track.

I ran my 275-40-17's at 22 psi on the street and 18 on the track. I had perfect tire wear, decent traction, and never had a problem on tire pressure sensor clearance.
On my 325-60-15's (different car) I run 12-14 psi depending on track conditions.

I drive mine on the street at 30psi, then when I'm at the track, I lower them to 18psi. Of course, I only drive them on the street when I have business to attend to. ;)

Has anyone tried the new M/T ET Street RADIALS? They come in 275/40-17, and are supposedly very sticky!

I run 32 psi on the street and at the track, 21-22. BFG doesn't recommend going below 15 psi.

275/40/17 DR's are almost .75" wider than my 275/40/17 SZ50s.
