Sweet! Drop your air pressure to 18-20 psi for track use and you'll see some nice 60'er's for sure.
I've ran a 1.74 60' with my DR's (28 psi).

Yep. 3:55 gear as well. 1.71 is my best 60' to date...on Hossiers though.

thats cool, really looking forward to see how they do at lightning fest, i checked the weather up there and its getting to mid 80's in the day and low 60's at night so the trucks should run pretty good

Brand new DR's, almost forgot what they look like with tread on them. I always run them one for looks, 305 looks way better than the 295, and two the cut water better, so new ones are safer than regular tires in rain. I'm on my 3rd pair of DR's. Watch the burnouts, peel outs, hard driving or they will get eaten up very quickly, my first pair I saw around 2,000 miles out of them. Since then I have seen 8,000 and 10,000, and needing a 4th pair :hammer: .

what i was wondering is whats required at the track burnout wise, do they need a good burn out, or just cleaned off?

What happened with this? How did/do the Nitto's work?

the best 60's i could get out of them was 1.93, but i still need to work on my launches some, i think i was being too aggressive from what i have heard most people try to launch around 1200 to 1500 i was stalling mine as high as I could get it to go, so the might have been slipping a little on the launch

Was that 1.93 good enough to get you into the 12's?
