Does anyone run MT ET Street Radials?
if so what pressure should i run at?

16-20 you got to play with the air pressure to see what feels best for you and the car

Thanks, i put 22 in right now. spun them on concrete and only the outsides of the tire left marks. Any suggestions?

Like Towgunner said, dial it in till it feels good to you. I usually start at 18 then go down from there. Scott used my tires last and I'm not sure what he ran in them. Also somthing else I just learned, don't store your tires at full pressure. Let most of the air out of them when they sit and make sure they're on their sides not standing up.

I start at 20psi and go from there, my experience tells me that is usually money for my car. Any less it walks on the top end. This on bias thou.

So, I should let some of the air out of Chez's tires that I'm storing at my house?

I myself do just the opposite and balloon tires up so they will stretch more...
