19 inch MT ET Streets Tire Pressure
What tire pressure do you folks do your daily driving with ET streets at?
I found 35 is to high lol... the entire tire doesnt touch the ground and it seems to sway a little side to side...
I don't want to go to low since they will heat up and wear a lot quicker... but I also want to feel safe when daily driving... so what PSI do you guys run at or what is good? (and cant huurt to say what you run at the track too?)

mine stay at 17-19# all the time.. havent had an issue on the street at all except in when i got caught in a rain storm... even then it was fine 95% of my 30 mile drive.. only a few areas of standing water got sketchy..

Getting ready to place my order for M/T 305/35/19 tires this week and was wondering how they are wearing? Please note I understand completely that this information may include a couple of trips to track.

Thats definitely where they work best. I just don't like the DIC barking at me about low tire pressure every ~15 min.

Well so today I almost crashed... put the tires down to 27psi... drove about 25 miles.. it turned out to be 80F out ... pressure went up to around 32-33psi
I tried a little pull... second held perfect.. third gripped perfect... only went to 70mph.. .and then tried to slow down.... boy was I surprised when the ABS kicked in... the car was sliding back and forth a bit... it just wouldn't slow down.... LUCKY for me active handling came on the dash and BAM the car auto straightened out (it was amazing actually) and although I still had some trouble slowing down I was no longer going to die!@
I dropped the pressure a bit more to around 25psi when HOT and it handled MUCH better.. I tried some aggressive breaking and it didn't want to kill me that time.
