On track day, we toyed with the pressures on the 235/60R15 M/T ET Street Radials until we found the sweet spot at 12 psi. Now that we've run close to the mathematical limit of the engine, we're ready to add more power and try to get the 60-foot time into the 1.50s.On track day, we toyed with the pressures on the 235/60R15 M/T ET Street Radials until we « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article Enjoyed this Post?
