Default Drag radials

How much air pressure do you run on the street in everyday driving conditions?

I think the best I have found so far for good traction and for mileage/ride quality is right at 35psi for me.

I typically run 3-4 psi over what Ford recommends. I did that in my truck and found that to be the best. On HOT summer days, my warm PSI would hover around the max cold PSI rating stamped on the tires. Done this since I could drive and had my own vehicle, and have yet to have a blowout.

I ran 29 in these 555Rs since I bought them 2 months ago. They are now bald in the middle.

Damn, 29 psi is that much too high that you wore middle down? Street tires FTW

Haha, its all good. Your car won't stay slow for long, same with mine. I've got some mods in the works for Christmas. Can't wait, it's going to be fun.
