The best pressure is the pressure where you get the best traction given your wheel/car/driver setup. ;) I think I started at 20 and worked my way down to as low as 12 before. O0

I run anywhere from 16-20psi on the streets with my Nitto 555r drag radials on HX rims, but I have ran as low as 12psi at the track.

They're not racing slicks, but they're the next best thing to be streetable.

I run 40 when DD for best handling/gas.
25-30 Max, 20-25 min on street race nights.
Never tracked these tires.

yeah they dont hook up for ---- at the track... i droped pressure in increments all the way to 12psi and still cant hook up.....time for some slicks

They dont get ---- traction on the street from a launch eaither, tried every ------- thing. Have to launch LOOOOOW and slip the clutch...I play catch up with stock cars. :S

They grip good in the later gears though, and handle like ----------ers.

I never had good luck using azenis for drag slicks, they make badass Auto-x tires for cheap. And I live at the bottom of a mountain in VA thats full of badass roads, perfect for that ----.

Low tire pressure in azenis probably isnt going to help much since the sidewalls are stiff.

Re: Tire pressure in falkon azenis?
 
yeah tractions a bitch. what else is there to do to get better traction on the launch other than slicks?

Whaaaaaat?? Link us mang. :y

I'm dissappointed hearing the Azenis results, but aren't you blowing some big steam in that car of yours RotaryGeek? What was your 60's with the Azenis compared to whatever you rocked before?

like I said, azenis aren't race tires. Don't waste your time using them at the track. As you have read from SEVERAL others, they are not great. The only track you should consider using them on is an AutoX track. Drag, find something else they weren't made to drag race.

They are great for Auto-X, I ran them for a season on our CRX. I had 38PSI in the fronts, and 20PSI in the rear. The low pressure in the rear was needed to get the car to rotate properly. Have never tried them for drag racing.
