barkin the tires...

[navyblue2000]

i had them at 36 or so till i took them to the drags, right now they got 28 still. i've found it a lot easier to bark the tires, is that normal?

[chevcamaro18]

36 28 what are you talking about your girls measurements?

[sped214]

ummmmm..... huh?

[cboney2000]

I think 28 is a little low for daily driving tire pressure. You should have gained some traction though, because with less air pressure inside, the tires would lose some of their shape and more tire would come in contact with the ground, hence the idea of lower rear tire pressure at the dragstrip. For daily driving I would keep tire pressure around 32. ;)

posts from chevcamaro and sped really need to be deleted. it's unnesessary (sp?) and just stupid to post stupid **** like 'what? your girl's measurements?' geezus it's **** like that that discourages people from the baord :rolleyes:

Not sure what size tires do you have, I hear lower profile tires you actually do not need to drop the tire pressure as much as non low profile tires.

Also if you underinflate them the center of the tire actually does not touch the ground jsut mainly the outer edges by the sidewalls.

first of all, i think that you should've put units in your post; it's very important if you really want your question answered

second of all, you are right...other than a "what are you talking about" extra comments are not necessary

and third of all, this thread really belongs in handling [img]graemlins/toto.gif[/img]

well I guess we could argue it but it sounds like an everyday maintenance thing to me.

Ya i had no idea what u were talking about in ur post till i continued to read the rest of the responses.

For me, its easier for me to chirp the tires w/ MORE pressure. Seems like the rubber doesnt "bend".

If u go to the track, you want less pressure so its not as easy to burn out, also less weight i believe.

Just my opinion. Not sure y its easier for u to burn out w/ less pressure?

anyone else have some ideas?

The purpose of my post was to indicate the fact that the question posed was not very understandable. If you are going to post a question, the question needs to be clear and concise, and to the point. I agree, that my post was probably unnecessary, and should not have been there, but the question that was being asked was not clear at all.

okay, just for you :rolleyes:
last time I went to the track, I drained my tire pressure to 28 psi. I had my tires at 35 or so psi before i went to the track. Now, for some reason it is a lot easier to bark the tires upon a shift. is there any logical reasoning behind this?
now, SPecial EDucation guy, does that clear things up? :rolleyes:

Hey fellas, don't get all bent out of shape. Personally I though it was funny. Although it was easy to figure out what he was talking about because his subject involved tires and the post had number similiar to that of tire pressures. But he should have put units in it. This question need to go into handling though! Heres the deal, lower pressure = more traction, more comfort
Higher Pressure = More life
Both are only relavant to certain points and certain tires. Don't run the factory recommended pressure (30psi)your tires will wear out fast.
Ready for the jump to Handling forum?

Not quite sure why the insults keep coming this way. I acknowledged that my post was unnecessary. There is no need to insult my intelligence. I have never attended, nor will I ever attend special education.

dude trust me you have NO ROOM to even talk about posting crap on the board. Just knock it off...he apologized...drop it and leave it at that.

Going back to the topic....I think its easier to break the tires loose with more pressure. Mine were at like 22 at one point (after track) and it was harder, now that they are at 32 again its easier, but more than anything you have to find that sweet spot where they just go. It used to be really hard for me, but now i can get a good amount of smoke. Anyways, hope you like buying tires.
