Thread: Couple Tire Questions

Whudup guys. So I tend to street race every weekend and I'm noticing my tires squeal a lot. I heard deflating the front tires to 32 psi for more grip, and 35 psi for the rear tires works. First question: Is this true? It makes a lot a sense from my perspective, but then again, I may be wrong. Second question: What would be the best tires with good grip for under $100? Also what would be the best winter tires for the best price. I know that was random, but I live in Minnesota where it snows 7 months out of the year. Thanks in advance

Whats your current tires also, I think 30psi is what ur supposed to be running anyway, at least thats what it says on the door. You're probably going to spend over 100 a tire for anything with better grip. Also running stickier tires puts more strain on the trans, please tell me this "street racing" is on a closed track/strip....

$100 a tire can get you a decent set of snows. It won't likely get you anything that grips better in the summer. You may want to consider working on your launches. You control the squeal

Thanks for the information. I currently have 16" rims on right now. Sorry I didn't clarify, but you are correct about the "street racing" is on a track that's near by where I live.

Street racing on a track? Ummm... Isn't that just racing? Also, I run all 4 tires 30-32psi.

For better grip you want to drop the front tires to about 25 psi or even a little lower. The reasoning is that letting the air out will let the tire squat a little and create more surface area and also help prevent wheel spin. It's the same basic theory why rock crawlers drop their tire pressure.

Didn't know there was a "track" near minneapolis, where is it?
