Hoosier Tire Pressures

Hi guys, I am currently running Hoosier 33x16.5x15 CO7 rear slicks on my 1800 llb blown sbc altered. Is anyone else running these or something similar, and if so what sort of tire pressures are working for you?
Thanks, Damien.

 

i run 33-5x17x16 co7 on a blown 3000# door car between 6# up to 6.5#

 

we run 34.5 -17-16 , same compound , 1900 lb twin turbo sbc altered
5.4- 5.7 psi pressure

Tires

I have run Hoosiers in the past, although it was a few years ago, and we always would run around 5 1/2 lbs, but have been told that perhaps we may need more (being up to 1 1/2 lbs more!) with this particular tire, to make it work to it's optimum. But am not convinced and don't have the luxury of being able to test.

 

tried that same tire on our 4-link dragster last night with 6.25 lbs of air with no issues. I think it would be better at 6.5-6.75

 

I run that same tire on a 3500 lbs blown door car 6 3/4 psi works well.

 

ta/fc 6-1/2 lbs .95 60fts

 

TAFC 4.7 to 5.5. Wow Jim, you must have lots of clutch. Very hard to get wheel speed at 5.5 lbs never mind another pound even leaving at 6500. Lots of other variables though.

 

i do run a lot of clutch . there on beadlocks and its a roots blower car and i leave around 5000 to 5500 rpms works for me
