After spending some time at the track and playing around with tire pressure I have a question.

What is the minimum tire pressure you can run on street tires, to get the widest contact patch, with out worry of spinning the tire off it's bead to the rim.

I had my 275/40 17's down to 18psi tonight and they grabbed pretty good. Could I have gone lower????
