No Wonder It Snaps Axles......

[2rismo]

Has anyone got any pics of drag radials creasing up? I remember Nabil's '8THSIN' Supra doing it on the super-tall BF's.

[2rismo]

Wait, I found a shot of the BF Comp T/A's doing it too.

damn those creased tyres!

Better get the iron out.

looks to me like some people need to pump up their tyres

nice to see real cars can do it (real cars being things with out a V8 in them)

[2rismo]

Hahaha.... That's at 13-14psi cold. They'd be more like 15-16psi after the burnout.

[AgentR31]

yep as i suspected those tyres are flat, once my 2nd car (94 charade) tyre went flat, it had 7 psi in it it handled crap and the tyre wore badly

i hope these people inflate them bak to 32 - 35 psi soon or the results will be dire

:PBJ:

You realise these are racing shots, right? Those tyres don't operate correctly at the pressures you've suggested.

yes i do, sarcasm doesnt always show up in the net does it

I took out my car the other night and managed a 1.8 60 foot on 28psi in the tyres...

I also broke something in the diff as well due to a bit of axle tramp finishing off the burn out...

I never knew that they creased like that - i didnt think that they would do that either...

Oh well with my new diff centre and some more power ill try it lol...

[2rismo]

Nope. Not without smileys! :)

Street tyres generally wont do what's pictured. At least not at 28psi. 1.8sec 60' is a great effort if they're on regular tyres though! Awesome!!!

In that case, what car? 28psi seems WAAAYY too much pressure. What does the car weight as well?

[TurbostyleR]

1260kg wet...

I really dont know how mucn tyre pressure to run with the ET streets.

What would you recommend with those tyres and a nissan silvia?

They are the basically an ET Drag with grooves. 2800-odd lbs and rear wheel drive - I reckon start at 16psi and work backwards.

28 is insane!

[AgentR31]

even i lol'd when i read you had MT streets @ 28 psi

[TurbostyleR]

AAAh excellent - i just thought because they are a radial tyre that they wouldnt bag up as much as a full cross ply slick....

Thanks for the advice mate, i shall give it a go in hopefully a couple of weeks...

WOOOAAAHHH!!! MT ET Streets are a crossply tyre.

ET Street Radials (as in top pic) are just that. Radials. Which do you have?
