How low has anybody run the Goodrich drag radials to?



I have the 345/55/15 on a tubed truck.



With the low rear weight they seem pretty stiff even at 15 lbs.



Anybody been lower?

Don\'t have an answer to your queston. What I have found out is everybody has their own opinion of what correct tire pressure should be. Each application is unique. I just make a lot of runs at different pressures. At the top end of the track when the back of the truck starts to feel loose I know the pressure is to low. Tire manifactures can help a lot in getting you close to correct pressures.

I have now have 15 plus 1/8 mile passses on the truck.



Quickest 7.84 with a bunch of 7.90s



Speed is about 90 to 92 mph



Best 60 ft is 1.8 with most in the 2.0 range which really sucks.





I have gone as low as 14 psi on BFG 345/55/15 drag radials.



They get a little loose at the finish line, but fell fine when I am running 18 psi.



I am going to experment with weight next.



I will start with 200 lbs in the bed next to the tail gate.



I already have the fuel cell and a battery in the bed.



Wish me luck.
