Depends on track conditions. Start relatively high as PapiChuu said and work lower til you find a pressure that hooks best. With the Nitto's I usually start at 18-20 and work down from there 1 pound at a time. Don't forget to heat 'em up real good too.

Yes. Get on the wet box. Lift E-brake and let her rip.

Roast 'em for a good 5-10 seconds or until you see lots of smoke billowing out - then move up and stage right away. Unlike regular street radials, DR's work best with a lot of heat in 'em...same as true slicks.
