How much pressure?

[bigblue]

I got a Avon Storm and was wanting to know how much pressure do I need to have when I run the 1/4 mile?

I would start at around 25psi and go down. Hope this helps.

You have the wrong tire for your intended use. Save that one for the street.

I don't have a spare rim right know but plan on getting one for next year. I drop my pressure to 25 psi the other night and was not hooking. I did not know if I could go any lower on a street tire.

When u go threw the water box. Do you clean the tire off? If not the tire will spin due to it being wet. Trying sliping the clucth more.

I tried a couple passes without doing a burnout and I still spin. I'll try slipping the clutch more.

Touring tire for racing?

You'll never get that tire to hook up on a busa!

Just let some air out. I use to run my shinko at around 20 psi, and was spinning if I came out too hard, and that was with a 4 inch stretch. Talking to the mechanic at racer's choice and he told me to drop it down to 14 psi. Cut my 60 ft down into the 1.5"s from high 1.6's. Test and practice, all about getting better. It's not as easy doing 1/4 mile as a lot of road racers believe. Now I run in the 9.50"s at a 146 mph, no Nos, but a mild 1397, and I'm just an average rider, but getting better. Just need more seat time which is of course,,,more funfunfun!

Thanks, I'll go lower and give it a shot until I get a Shinko.
