Tire Pressure in Nitto 555Rs

I was wondering whats the best tire pressure to run on the street i have a set that I had the local tire place put on for me and they are running about 30psi. But it doesnt say the recommended pressure on the tires. Also should I run less pressure at the track to hook up better. They really hook great now but will they do better at the track if I drop to like 25 psi?

I run mine from 14-30 PSi all of the time, but I do not do a lot of driving. After going to the track sometimes I will forget to air them back up for the street for a while. I can not tell a diff. in the way it drives, but like I said I do not put a lot of miles on them.

On the street, 23-24psi. Seriously. Most people think that's a crock until they go through a set with them set at a higher pressure, and find the center of the tires wore out way before the outsides. The only way they seem to wear evenly is if you keep them at 23-24psi.
