I've got a set of street tires and am going up to the track next week. I was planning on lowering the pressure in the front tires, but after reading this, I would like this explained a little bit more.

Anyone have take on this? Greatly appreciated

 

dont listen to that moron. lower psi = bigger contact patch = better traction
dont go lowering it to 12-15psi.. but 22-25psi is good enough.

i agree!

 

I agree....I do good with about 20-24

 

I run 24 or do, I got .3 off my 60 from 32

 

i heard from alot of tire shops not to lower it more than 20psi on non drag street tires

 

Depends on about a thousand things (weight, what tyres, what rims etc) I ran 13 psi on azenis and cut a 1.9 60....

 

dont azenis have stiff side walls?

 

Yes but you can't get DR's in Australia. Well except for the Nitto's that I just got...

 

that sucks...imma try out some BFGoodrich T/A this summer...why arent they available down under?

 

yeah before i had my slicks i had regular street tires, i experimented with the different pressures and found that about 23 psi worked good for me, my best 60' was a 2.2

 

if you lower the pressure too much then the inside contact patch will curve in and you will lose that amount of rubber for grip, if you do lower them lower them to roughly 25psibut i cant imagine gaining that much. and it will depend on what kind of tire and rim.

 

I have about a thousand pounds less weight on the front tyres than some cars so tyre deflection varies....
