Re: drag radial tire pressure

At the track you want to run the pressure as high as you can while maintaining traction. Usually radials like a little bit higher pressure than bias-ply's do. I've never used hoosier DR's, but with mickey's I usually start around 22psi and start working your way down from there. Remember track prep and suspension setup are much bigger factors to traction when running radials.....they're not near as forgiving as bias-ply's.
