Miyagi is right about the tire pressure, too much and you get a bald patch in the middle, not enough and you get it on the edges.

i knew i wouldnt get alot of life out of them compared to street tires but i thought they would last longer than this. I ran 25psi in them all the time except for the flashlight drags i ran 15psi.

i have no idea id say a couple hundred. i'll go get it aligned again and see how it works out.

Mine wore perfect. Right now my alignment is out, but I also haven't driven it.

I have no idea how many miles i'd say a couple hundred. i'll go get it aligned agan and see what happens from there.

haha ... hopefully kiss it. if his toes out (and/or something else for that matter), and he gets it aligned properly, won't that be a GOOD thing, dan?

My 225s lasted two summers and roughly ~2000 miles. I traded them to Floyd for his 205s. The centers were worn a little, but they were still good. I usually ran ~20psi on the street and ~12-15psi at the track.

Those were a cunt hair from being beat Munster...Come on now. And if you only had about 2000 miles on them (which i believe, if not less), then I understand why the Toon Town Guy's are shot being they drive daily a lot and beat the shit out of them daily too.

Just my 5cts.

There's no such thing as drag radials that wear well...more you use them, quicker they are gone

The center patch was worn from overinflation, but they lasted a hell of alot longer than Duanne's did. I think he had two more sets than me in that time, and I had more track passes those two summers.
