drop the psi and heat up the slicks. play with the control arm's adjustment also.

"275/40/17 slicks" ??? Exactly what kind of slicks are you running? [Confused]

hoosier slicks...275-40-17..what should i let the psi out to?
 
Posted by sic91sleeper (Member # 779) on :
 
At least 20psi.

Could only one wheel be spinning?

btw- 20 psi in a true slick is almost unheard of.... of course you know this because you've raced on slicks before [Wink]
