What PSI to run Nitto 555r's??
hey guys, im running it a 30PSI to goto the track, when i get there what is the best psi to run these baby's at??
i was thinking like 22psi?? do guys think more or less?
im gonna bake the hell out of them regardless, just wondering what a good psi would be, there 305/45/18's if that matters at all.
thanks.!

around 20-22 psi works best, if your having trouble hooking drop em to 18 psi. no need to do a huge John Force burnout either, you'll just be wasting your tread...just spin em til they start to smoke and a second or so more
i hooked up real good at 21psi!
i started at 24psi, and i got a 2.0 60ft, and then went to 21psi and got 2 straight 1.8's and that is good at our track, lightning w/ slicks only get 1.7-1.8 at our track.
i would brake torqe at 3k rpm till i hear them start to sqeel a bit, then just WOT it and let go of the brake, and it seemed to work great.
nittos are awesome

I run my front F1s at 44 psi, all the time...less rolling resistance and crisper handling feel, and the ride is still not overly harsh. I still havent found the optimal compromise between cornering and traction for the Nittos on the street yet tho
I think the manual says 34 psi correct? I've been told running them that high (40 psi +) will wear out the center of your tires faster....any truth to this? Either way, I remember starting a thread months ago about this and the general response was 34-36 psi....
