What tire pressure does everyone run on Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R front runners? I'm thinking about 80PSI?

I run mine at 48 psi... Didn't know they could be pushed to 80 psi!
More is probably better, maybe I need to push mine up?

Max pressure is 95psi. They are essentially high speed space savers. Space savers are usually 60PSI.

I do my best to avoid running my drag pack on the street at all. I have a set of forgestar's to run on the street.

Doesn't it show on the tire the max load is 960 lbs at a max tire pressure of 50 psi?

That tire is a trailer tire. While its great for our heavy cars, its insanely heavy. I swapped from that tire to the new et street r front in the same size. Like 12lbs lighter each. HIGHLY recommend. Its also a touch shorter too, which makes it fit better in the wheel well. I always thought the SR was a bit too tall.

I believe max is 1650#@95psi

They are heavy, but still a big difference over the 285's on my fronts now. I like that the S/R actually has usable tread.

Click on the 18" tire and then on the 26x6x18, I see 960/50. Are we looking at different tires?

Judging by the tire, he's talking the 28" tall which does show 95 psi max
