I can tell you this. I drove home from the track without adding air to the tires due to the air station not working. WHAT A RIDE!! I was swaying all over due to the soft side wall. If I had to change lanes quickly or go into a turn - I would probably not make it. It is that bad of a ride (unsafe) to drive with the tire pressure so low. Have you ever drove a car with one tire low on air?

The other thing about these tires is that they don't last very long if you put a lot of street miles on them.
I race at least once a week (on average) and usually get around 3-4 months out of a set but with my prior ones I drove to the track with them already mounted and they were thread bare after only just two months.

I drive on MT radials every day @ 20psi. I really dont drive the car everyday but I put about 200 - 300 miles a week on her @ 20 PSI. I like to play on the street so I leave them at a pressure where I can hook up...
