We're talking about drag racing right?
We're not worrying about tire wear at the strip are we?
A tire that is "cuping" driving around town isn't going to be cuping when you drop the hammer @ 4000rpm.
I'm not trying to start a flame war.
I'm just saying experiment with the tire pressure, I did and for me, I hooked better at 11psi then say 15/16psi. And, I lived to tell about it, LOL.
No, honestly the guy who was coaching me was running way faster trap speeds then my 110 111mph.
I ran 11-12 psi in 245/50-16 Nitto DRs four years ago and got consistent low to mid 1.7s in a mid to high 12 second car.
Now I run 10-11 psi in my 275/50-15 BFG DRs and get consistent high 1.5s and low 1.6s. They are VERY stable at 115+ mph trap speeds. FAR more stable than a bias ply tire.
If you want them to work, treat them like a slick. Period.
