drag racing tire pressure's

[impulseblue gto]

So taking my gto to the track in a few weeks and wondering what tire pressure's to run in the front and rear. Any info would be great.

I have always heard that when running street tires, you should air the fronts up to 45 PSI, for less rolling resistance, and then drop the rears to 25-30 PSI to help hook a little better. I've done that and also left regular pressure in street tires and never really noticed much of a difference. Now of course with slicks and drag radials, you'll want lower pressure in the rears to hook decently. Others that really know their stuff will chime in and offer their expertise.

I would go as low as 22 on stock tires in the rears, and if you have drag radials then 18 is good.

I am stupid and ran 18 PSI with my stockers.. but I dont actually believed it hurt anything. Leave the fronts alone.... 35 PSI is more than enough for the front tires. If you are aiming for 11's or lower than yeah maybe start to
look into bumping the fronts up abit... otherwise it isnt neccessary.

I found 18 PSI is always good.

If you have full out slicks then you better go with 12-15 PSI :D
