Default Drag tire questions

Hey

I currently got my self a set of Hoosier quick time pros in 26x9.5/15.
Running 10psi air pressure on a 7.5" rim I found I had basically no traction, after the meeting I saw the tire had only been wearing through the centre and missing out 1" each edge of the tire.
Do I need to lower the pressures to correct this problem?
Has anyone else had any experience with these tires?

thanks.
