Radial Tire Air Pressure: Tech Tip Tuesday

[@aphil4581]

A lot of people ignore the front tires. I use minimum of 45psi in the front, The car rolls better and I always run faster with the higher pressures.

[@joecameron3406]

Always look forward to this classroom on Tuesday morning. I have my notebook out. Project 6.0SS will be on the street soon

[@scottbennett3548]

I’d like to see some tech tips on trans brakes and bump boxes 👍🏼

[@CamaroThings]

I've said it on another video but legit these T.T.T. Videos have taught me soooooo much.

[@curtfreeman8632]

Thank you sir! I’ve always ran slicks on other cars but I’m going to try radials on my new build, (a 3500 lb 1971 big block nitrous Nova). Thanks for the information! Enjoy your videos, and your Nova is killer!

[@PapaDoc215]

I hate the fact that this video is sub 10k views. And irrelevant videos are 1m+. Phenomenal video and awesome tip Doug.

[@haroldtravis6991]

Went to 315 from slicks. Went from 1.08 to sub 1.00s at 2900 lbs

[@Hatcher426]

We are running Hoosier radials on one car and Mickey on the other and it seems like the MT like a pound or pound and a half more pressure. Both similar weight and power f body's, for guys running different brands. Great video.

[@teddy_awdB19]

Good info! I just bought my 1st pair of drag radials and this helped out alot Ill start at 15psi cause my car weights around 2200lbs

[@automotiveoutburst8946]

Dougie Fresh coming in hot with another great tip!

[@30YearOldBunta]

Soaking up these tech tips now!

[@alexegus71]

I've learn alot today Thanks Now, im not into pro racing but for those day to day improvements it does help

[@thebradnoyes]

This kind of content is what I need to hear.

[@supercharged6771]

Was looking for a good tire pump, thank you... and the tech tips on drag radials

[@LegacyGarage]

Good stuff, i like that Milwaukee air pump, but if your only like a 9-10 sec streetcar like 1.30s 60 id go straight to 18, heck when my car was slow i ran 20 it helped reaction time, now I'm in the 1.30 60 range and it still loves 18, my junks right at 3000lbs

[@BoostedRide]

It's just like a Tuesday morning wake up call getting the motion raceworks alert

[@clayterral3899]

I’m curious to here the difference in your shock settings when you go from a slick to a radial. Thanks

[@bartpang]

On 315s we ran down to 14psi on a 3300lb car and some of the light cars down to 12. On 275s we are in the pressures you are suggesting.

[@mikehoffman2348]

Thanks for making the video, very helpful.

[@waynepraetz]

Awesome video as always 👍

[@FlatLineRacing4650]

I'm sure you mentioned this in a previous video. What is the tire size on the Nova? The tire in this video looks like a 305/50 or 60/15. Thanks for this video and your time to answer my question. 👍🏁👍🏁

[@camelracing1971]

nice we set them at 11 and after the burn out goes up to 16 psi and works great in 1968 camaro

[@95poo40sx]

Im pretty sure a slick likes to be planted also, just not as drastic and hard as a radial. You dont NEED less than 100% antisquat(squat) for a slick to work. A lot of small tire no prep/low prep guys have a lot of success running more than 100% antisquat(seperation) on a small tire slick car.

[@burr-leeTV]

Great information , thanks for sharing .

[@sigbaconater910]

Wish I knew this before I sent my Hoosier slick radials at 31 PSI dropping clutch at 4k expecting them to dead hook LOL, I ran a 2.7 60’. Looks like I got to deflate.

[@mrmatt2525able]

Love the radial tech talk, I need more!

[@JohnTaylor-kh1sv]

Can you please do a video on how to pick the right turbo for your size of engine please

[@harrisonclark4382]

Dude, those wheels! What are they? Thanks.

[@Madmalchen]

What about drag radials with a low profile side wall such as 285 35 19 with a 3900 lb car same pressures or higher

[@MrPappysCobra]

Great video.

[@thesquirrelchroniclesakare7808]

Do you guys offer a rear wing for the New Edge Mustangs ? I saw the Foxbody wing on the website but none for my 2003

[@ryanfield4966]

Sorry off topic but what ball valves you use on your fuel system to switch from race gas to pump gas? Thanks for all the great tech vids. Tons of great info from proven car

[@robertclymer6948]

Thnks Doug! I appreciate the track pressures on a drag radial, but what should I run on the street pressure wise for back tires and the front skinnies? I run M/T 275x60rx15's on the 67 Mustang. Thanks again for the info. Cheers from Motown.

[@r.k862]

Hi, I have 370z and is low powered car so I don't care about traction at take off. I want to go roll racing where it's cruising at about 30mph then taking off at the green light. Some people say a higher tire pressure give me faster time to the finish line because it will have lower rolling resistance etc but other people say a lower tire pressure will give me faster time because the rolling circumference is smaller. I don't know what to do? Can you give me your advice please, thanks

Opinion on running radials on a stick car without a slipper clutch ?

I run 17.5 to 18.5 in my 2800lb nitrous car 1.05 to 1.08 sixty foots

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Sheww buddy that’s moving! Thanks for sharing !

[@danmyers9372]

With a TON of glue on the track no doubt!

[@badbusa2]

Any info on the wheels you’re running?

[@danmackey9462]

Any thoughts on making the tire cover in white instead of black. Won't black soak up heat vs white will reflect it? Seems counterproductive to have it black to keep the sun's heat off the tire.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

I’ve tried both and it doesn’t actually matter one way or another, the cover is blocking the sunlight which is what heats it up. Like turbo piping near other components, as long as there is an air gap

[@charlieboywhiting7752]

Where can I get them tire covers

[@randytrowbridge9736]

I'm new to radials completely. My question is do you air them back up for street cruising or are they ok at say 20 psi. My car don't make big power yet but the 4.10s make normal tires melt off on the launch but I like to street cruise it every now n then

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

100%, they can go up and down as needed

[@robertmorris8259]

any opinions on air pressure for Mexico?

[@mitchrobinson8819]

run slicks, not radials. the mexican government doesn't prep their roads like a track... Would recommend SRC Garage for more information.

[@matthewmccormick2417]

Also they stick or you smoke there is no middle.

[@H3110NU]

I always thought the wheel covers were just to hide secrets....

[@nova467spanker]

Motion Raceworks Official Doug I follow and love your tech tips and racing videos. Have you ever checked out Kevin Wilson's approach to suspension tuning with slicks and radials? He goes into detail about anti squat with slicks. Check him out.

[@kevinadcock4671]

I’ve watched him. He has what seems to be good info, and a lot of detail on everything... I always seem to get sleepy watching though...
