Nitto 555R Drag Radials

Hi All,

What PSI should I be running at the drag strip using the Nitto 555R Drag Radials? I have heard 15 PSI up to 25 PSI.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ron,

Thanks...I will try that! No new numbers yet...hopefully some good numbers this evening but the DA tonight would be around +2900 DA which is not favorable.

15-16 psi should be best.

AL, would you say the same for the R2's ? The sidewall is so stiff I'm wondering.

I don't have my RIIs yet - I get them soon.

Try it and let me know what you think.

Jed, the r2 work good at 15psi but they are not great launch tires due to the stiff sidewalls. But they hook great once your moving as you know.
