Default nitto 555r drag radials

Hi guys,

What pressure would you guys run on these at the track. Can it be lowered to around 10 psi or lower?

It's a radial tire with a stiff sidewall, lowering it to 10psi is pointless since the only part pushing on the ground will be the outer edges. You want enough air in the tire to allow the whole tire to have a contact patch. Start at 20lbs and slowly work your way down but don't go past 15-12psi on the nittos.
