Re: Launching with run flats (WHY2KRAG)
for run flats....leave at street pressure, the sidewall is so stiff, even taking out 1/2 the air will have little to no impact :eek:
I was able to pull off a 1.889 on stock runflats at stock pressure :D:D:D

I have went all the way down to 15psi - don't bother it didn't have any effect.
My best 60ft on runcraps is 2.14 but I still got a 12.78@112 ;)

Leave Em at street pressure. Lowering tire psi on these will only concave the center contact patch! Heat em up good and they'll stick.
