Hey 2005+ owners, I am planning on drag racing my new GT this weekend and wanted to know what tire pressures I should go with. Anybody experimented with this before? I have 17 in wheels and stock Pirelli tires.
I've heard two opinions...one that with a radial, lowering your pressure reduces your contact patch, and will actually hurt your traction, and another that you get better traction by lowering your pressure down to 20 psi or so.
I left mine at 32 when I went to the track Wednesday. Next time I might lower it a bit for a couple of runs, and see which works better.

Are these street radials? What is the normal recommended pressures and what pressures do you run on the fronts? I have heard that it is better to run higher pressures in the fronts due to less resistence during rollout.
