Advice for first time with rain tires.

[snookwheel]

It looks like tomorrows Autocross will be under a fair bit of rain. I have a set of 23 X 5 X 15 Goodyear Eagle rain tires that I have never used. Any advice on what pressure I should be running with the rain tires will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Scott

I should have read the notes the previous owner left me before posting. 19 lbs front and rear. Thank you once again Dave!

Had my first experience on rain tires today!!!! Compared to slicks in the rain, the difference is AMAZING!!! One disturbing thing though.... THE ROOSTER TAILS!!!!

I wonder what a vee would look like with motorcycle type fenders over each wheel?

Like a skinny Super 7.

Mityfast... that street legal FV makes me drool every time I see it! I got lucky. The rains held off until the afternoon. I ran in the dry. Neat course.... but VERY slippery with small loose gravel. Kind of like running on an old shingle roof. I was sand blasted during my runs & spent a fair bit of time picking small rocks out of the cooling fins.. Had a blast though!

It was the first time the parking lot had been used for an activity like this. Next time, we will have some sweepers or blowers doing some 'pre-work.'

I guess that goes under the "ask and you shall receive" category.


Nice looking vee, but around here it would be deadly to drive around.
