Tire pressure for the strip?
Hey! I thought of another newbie question! A search didn't really turn up anything on this.
I haven't had the opportunity to take the C5 to a drag strip, so I haven't considered this until now.
With the Goodyear runflats, is there an advantage to lowering the rear tire psi? The sidewall is so stiff, I don't know if it would prvide more traction or less.... So, what has your experience taught you guys???
Waiting to do a few Goodyear melts :jester

Trying airing down to about 26 lbs. (no less with run craps) and drive AROUND the water box! :yesnod:
In the future, when you become a true Mod-Aholic like the rest of us, you will want some sticky tires if you like drag racing. :D Hope this helps.

:iagree: Yep, don't bother dropping the pressure much as your times will get worse. Runflats should only be used for ricer burnout competitions in my opinion !
