MT ET street radial II pressures
What pressures are people running on their MT ET street radial II tires. Both track and street if you use them in both settings.
I run these on the back and love the grip. I have been running them at 32-34 like the stock tires, but not sure that is right. Also, does anybody know the speed rating for these tires? Thanks |

I also had the same question about the mickeys and the air pressure , I have 750rwhp and at around 140-150km the rear of the car is very unstable when I'm on it, I'm currently running them on the street at 27psi
any thoughts? |

I ran my Hoosiers at 16-18psi on the track and 25-30psi on the street. At the track the lower pressure helps the sidewall flex more allowing the tire to bite and give you a good 60ft without spinning. The softer sidewall makes for that floaty feeling in the rear.

Mine work best at 26psi on the street. Any more and they feel "loose" under hard throttle.
At the track they dead hook at 20psi. |

after many different trial pressure, my car with an auto likes 17-18 psi at the track and street is fine at 29-30psi.

Did you run the 26" tall Hoosiers on your ZL1? Just curious cause I have been debating on the Hoosier and MT ll drag radials.

Agree with stephen - 17/18 psi cold for track (20 hot), and around 30 on the street. They feel more stable around 32 psi, but less straight line traction at that pressure.

I used to do 16 on the track and around 30 on the street, but really only used them for the track.

That was on my 2005 GTO. Just a touch lighter than my ZL1 at 4000lbs with me in it and I used a 275/40-17 Hoosier.

I've ran a few 10.20 passes on the 20" MT's at 17 psi, I street drive on them at 30 psi, I've went 173.6 mph with them at 22 psi. Like was said earlier the lower the pressure the more floaty they feel.

I'm assuming everybody is generally talking about cold pressure for the numbers noted. When i had em put on, the firestone guy said they needed to be at 32 for the 'load requirement'. I'm probably overdoing it at 32 on the street, but I agree they feel a little wobbly in the back compared to the stock oem.
I couldn't find anything about speed rating anywhere for these tires. Does anybody think there is a risk of failure at the max ZL1 speeds for short distances? |

At the track, the tire temp is already up so my pressure listed above is not a cold temp at 17-18psi. The car would have to sit for hours to have a cold pressure, and I drive the drag radials to the track. The street 29-30 psi is a cold pressure.
