I have two sets of those in a 10.5 width. I don't know the metric crap too well 
For us we haven't really needed much to hook, just enough to heat them up. Little 1st gear smoker. Just my experience, may be different for your setup.
Edit- I will have to check the pressure.

Do you even know what the difference in drag radials and slicks are?

On my friend's mustang we found 16 psi worked good. Just enough burnout to clean and smoke them.

when i was running 275 drag radials my truck seemed to favor 15 psi and a short burnout, 1st gear shift to second gear, bring rpms up to 4500 and let off the brakes and wait for the tires to bite as your rolling out of the water.... Sounds long but its only a couple seconds

well I guess the, "I have two sets of those in a 10.5 width" response threw me off. My bad.
MT 275 dimensions are sidewall width 11.0, tread width 9.5, height 28.0, and roll out of 87

my truck is #3870 but nose heavy. i have run some good 60ft and some bad like you said track condition are key. at dragweek i try a lot of diff. pressure 14psi seem to work best for me. i think the burn out is important i use second gear till i see smoke and burn out of box. third set and still playing with them hoosier dr hook better at track for me but are $hit for wear and the road.

Quick correction, the one's I run are indeed the 275/60/15. The NEW ones I just got are the same style tire but the size is 10.5.

as far as wear is concerned with a three speed I would get the tires turning and get into third as fast as possible. other than that with a vehicle that heavy you will just have to play with it. neither the MT or Hoosier tire should be driven on the road.quick 52 wrote:my truck is #3870 but nose heavy. i have run some good 60ft and some bad like you said track condition are key. at dragweek i try a lot of diff. pressure 14psi seem to work best for me. i think the burn out is important i use second gear till i see smoke and burn out of box. third set and still playing with them hoosier dr hook better at track for me but are $hit for wear and the road.
Those are not radials. Completely different. You treat et streets just like slicksbb429power wrote:I believe the 10.5's are.

Have you found a good pressure yet? I'm trying some new ET streets and I haven't raced yet. They are at 35psi at the moment.
