J-Madd Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Most tracks like less pressure. Start at no higher than 3.5 psi and go down 1/4 psi until you get the best 60 ft. JMO. I would say 3 tenths or more decrease in e.t. With the override. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayCLL Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree with 3 tenths from an override. I start at 3 psi and work my way down as needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 It really depends on the track surface ! but like J madd said , start around 3.5 and work from there . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunninghambc Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 ok thanks I was usually around 5lb but maby thats a bit high. and even running that low you don't have to worry about tires spinning on the rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawkatv Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 What tire pressure do you guys run at the dunes when your dragging? At little sahara when the sand started getting wet from everyone racing(snowed the day before) I couldnt launch in second had to start in first.

Paul M Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 we run as low as 2 lbs sometimes ! never had any trouble yet ! at the hill we run around 3 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Jayhawk in that situation I would try to air up a little , make the tire harder and spin easier . but then again that depends on the type of tire you running ! just my opinon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul M Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Jay hawk after thinking it about it some, airing up may cause it to dig more ! airing down would let it float on top , its a fine line, all you can do is keep trying diff pressures ... yep I would start at 3.5 -3.0 with those tires .

FraireRacing Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Dam I am way off I have 6psi and I thought I needed bigger paddles but I'm hoping to try 3 and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Haulers have worked for me at little sahara at 3 or 4 psi. Extremes about 3psi. It sometimes depends on the carcass of the tire. Many of the newer skattraks in the last 5 years or so are very square instead of crowned and have to have less air to work right. Even tho they will look flat and square.
