Nitto 555r's - what tire pressure?

[mdvaldosta]

For the strip, what tire pressure you guys running? Ive got stock size 245/45/17's and I'm wondering what pressure you guy's have had the best results at? I had 35 lbs in there to start (when I got the tires on initially), lowered to 22 lbs and lowered my '60 to a 1.9 (from a 2.0). My traction has been horrible. The cars got steeda sport springs and upper and lower control arms as well. Ran a 13.5 at 102 with the 1.9 '60 - I really would like to get it down to 1.8. Anyone?
