Default Who runs M&H drag radials?

What air pressure are you running? Do you do a short, moderate, or lengthy burnout? I've never run these tires and I'm coming out tomorrow with them for the first time. Thanks.

I love them.... Moderate burn out... We usually start ar 18psi and drop 1 psi at a time until we find what works.

I likes my BFG for bite but don't expect very long street life !
Be sure to watch the wear for a good indicator of footprint !

I love MT but these M&H tires did just fine yesterday. 18 psi and a short-to-moderate burnout and I had no issues on the launch. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm gonna leave it alone. But that's probably only until somebody pisses me off and gets in my head No, just kidding. I've already had the car detuned about 100 rwhp. No more crazy stuff. I think the car has mid-10s the way it sits and is great on the street so I'm content.......for now
