Nitto drag radials need tips at the track
For all you nitto users, do you have any tips for heating them up and launching at the track? Also what psi works the best? thanks.

start out at 20PSI
dont back into the waterbox.. they'll cary water in the treads and it'll drip onto the track below your tires on launch...
instead, back up to the edge of the box, where people carry water out... they still break loose fine, and they wont carry water since it didnt get in the tread.
short burnout.
play with the air pressure if you think it needs it. i know alot of people that run lower pressure, but they do these massive burnouts that put a ton of heat in the tire... of course, that just makes them have the same pressure as me... except mines more consistant and my tires last longer.
