on motor, a little less than you but i have a loose converter so im willing to bet my car shocks the tire harder than yours will

What's the reason for that? Your the second person I have heard say that.

Its happened to me before.....more than once...Im not a tire guy so I cannot answer the question....switched to bias ply tires and the problem was gone....maybe it was old school tires...not sure (bf goodrich t/a radials)
It gave no warning either...somewhere around 100 the rear end came around.

Yeah. It hooked great 3 out of 5 times last night. 2 of the times I had to peddal a little bit. Did you see me get killed by Jasons T/A? That was 800 to my 500hp. I think he was still spinning when he passed me.

what t/a was that? I saw Stan's white one, I thought anyway.

Tire pressure is different for every car. It all depends on your vehicles weight, tire size, suspension, stick or auto car......I run about 12-13psi on street or track, car pulls the tires on the street sometimes, depends on if/how hard i spray out of the hole and if i use VHT (which i almost always use). I drive on my slicks ALL the time with a locker. It rides fine at about 15-16psi if im going to be driving a few miles.

i want to know more about this. Sounds scary & dangerous I was gonna run the 275/60/15 m/t drag radial.

This is when you mismatch bias with radials. basically what hes saying is if your running a bias on the rear you need bias on the front. You will be fine with the MT drag radial and a normal radial front runner, just dont mix and match.

yea i heard about mixing the tires and having problems, but just wanted to make sure I wasnt swapping ends at over 100mph!!
