went ahead and bought some bfgoodrich g-force drag radials(205/50-15) for the maxima to help put some newly found power to the ground. Any tips on pressure, heat cycling(if needed), etc.?

warm them up, and drop air pressure to 26psi for a baseline run.

Thats an awefully short tire for a maxima, and Im sure the load index isnt built for the car.....why such a small size?-chet

small diameter is one reason for the size, another is that it is the only drag radial that would fit a 15x6.5 wheel. the load index IS ok by the way.

thanks for the tips
