nevermind. see it in your sig. for some reason I was thinking you were on a drag radial. I was going to say you're running too low of tire pressure but nevermind.

I am on a drag radial. MT recommends 12-16 psi for these tires.

I run 18 lbs on the 275/60-15. not sure if the 315 is that much different. don't be afraid to try more on a radial. if 13-15 doesnt work for you, try 17.5 psi...if it 60' better keep going up on the pressure 1/2 psi at a time until it slows down again. you want to run the most psi that you can consistently hook.

Yeah, the 275s and 315s are in different classes as far as tire pressures go, per MT. When I dead hooked on the 11.1 run I had 15 psi in the tires. Most posts I've come across from people running this tire, they run between 15-16 psi. However, those are in small, light cars. I'm near 5000 lbs so a little less tire pressure may be needed.
