im guna push these nt05s to the max before i buy some slick...basically doin it can im curious. when i was just a bolt on car with a good tune i cut a 1.89 60ft. now im running a new cam and converter and im close to the 500rwhp mark. i was running them at 22psi. has anyone found a majic number for these tires. btw they are 275 35 20s. ive heard from very very expeienced old school drag reacer that 15 is the number to run street tires at??????

MT recommends 16 psi on the 305/35/20 so I don't see why 15 psi on the NT05 would hurt anything. Only way to know is to try!

I would start at 17-18 then try lowering the pressure

18 is the sweet spot for us on those.

Good luck!
