Default Tire pressure with nitto DR

Going to the drag strip. What tire pressure are you guys using. They are the 555r drag. I have them at 25 for the street.

i think most guys use 19-23psi at the track....i run 23-25 on the street to keep tread wear half way decent.....i ran 21 psi last time at the track (my only time on nittos) when they put some VHT down it stuck but otherwise in my stock z at the time was blowing the tires off in 1st 2nd 3rd prior to VHTing...I think its all a matter of track prep....i guess you could just experiment and see what works best for you
