it depends on the style/condition of the track. I run 18-34 on the left, and 29-34 on the right.

Some of the numbers guys post on here I wouldnt even think of running but it must work for them. On a fast, high banked track I have knocked the RR tire off the bead at 27lbs with aero wheels and a TUBE! Eric

Eldora in ohio with a 3400 lb car, 18 and 20 with no tubes, no problems for 7 years.. I tried the higher pressures and car was always to loose. Try something and let us know.

15 rf 14 rr and I think I got the lf down to 8 one night. This was 275/60/15 on a 8in wheel. Ya had to vet used to it. When ya entered the corner you could feel the tire roll over.

20-24 right side, 16-20 on lr and LF I always ran it around 12-16. Would go up from that if track was heavy and lower when track was really dry. No tubes. Radials need more air than racing tires

you only run high tire pressure when and tubes when you dont run beadlocks, and thats not safe, ive never not ran beadlocks on the right side, but i run 14 right side, and 17 left side

Most classes that require DOT tires, DONT allow beadlocks. If you can run beadlocks then you clearly can drop the pressure a lot on the right side. Eric

about 16 on the rr is as low as I could get down to and be consistent I ran 20 rf 18 lf 17 lr 16 rr this on a dry slick on a heavy track I went up a couple of 3s only because of rr We couldn't run Beadlocks either We did glue them on Mon to run Sat But honestly I don't know if it was worth the trouble
