what air pressure are you running in your M/T ET streets i got the 28x11.50x15 and have been runinng 18.5 when i droped it to 17 the car got a little tough to handle i see M/T suggested starting at 14psi any thoughts on these tires

I run my quick time pros at 13.5. I would like to try a little more pressure as I get my rear suspension sorted out. 12.5 seems like the car would be a handful on the top end

I ran those on my Nova and the Malibu. 15psi to 18psi for me. I keep bumping pressure up as long as the 60ft is good and they don't spin. I'm not a fan of super low are pressure, and it cups the tread anyway.

I ran mine at 12.5psi last weekend, felt sturdy up top with no real complaints, gunna start working my way up from there, I ran 18psi on the first pass and she spun like crazy I am guessing here but it felt like 3-4 rotations before it hooked, I didnt really lay into the burnout like I normally do though. just my $.02

I ran those same tires around 18lbs. Never a problem. 1.63, 60'. Hardly any burnout. If your stuff is hopping or spinning, there might be a problem elsewhere.
