ET STREET, ET STREET RADIAL, AND ET DRAG AIR PRESSURE GUIDELINES

Proper air pressure is critical to the best performance of your ET Drag or ET Street racing tires. Mickey Thompson strongly suggests investing in a good tire pressure gauge and that you keep accurate and complete records of each pass. This will aid you in becoming a consistent performer.

Recommending air pressure is not easy, since there are so many variables that affect it: i.e. weight distribution, transmission, chassis set-up, wheel size, etc. To help you, we have broken down the types of vehicles into the following categories with a recommended starting point for the correct air pressure. These pressures are for off-highway use only and based on optimum chassis and drivetrain setups. Keep in mind that these are purely starting points. Actual optimum air pressure may vary significantly. If you have been running another brand of slick on your racecar, we generally recommend you start with the same air pressure you were running and go up in ½ pound increments until you get the best performance. Most racers will usually end up with ½ to 2 pound more air pressure in a Mickey Thompson tire.

Note: Many racers feel that "Less is Better" with regard to air pressure. This is not always the case. While there are exceptions to every rule, we have found higher pressure generally works best with Mickey Thompson Tires. Not only do the higher pressures lead to quicker times, but they also contribute to a safer, more stable ride at the finish line.
