Tire Pressure
For the guys that DD cars with drag radials, what kind of PSI do you normally try and maintain for just day to day driving?

When I had the BFG street Drag Radials, because it did have a small rain pattern in the thread, you could run normal (30-32) PSI in them. Of course in the rain, you do have to be a LOT more careful, but it's not like your driving on pure slicks. Also because of the soft rubber you'll only get about 5,000 miles out of them. LOL

22psi...enough to keep the tires securely mounted when taking turns at considerable speeds..and provides enough grip to tear up axles.
