A question about Nittos..

I did a search and could't find an answer. What tire pressure should I run on the street for everyday driving to get the best life out of my drag radials?

I ran 30 on the street and 18 at the track. Everyone I've talked to had problems with them wearing out in the middle. No matter what tire pressure they used. Mine lasted about 13k miles of street/strip duty. Best 60ft. of 1.70.

I'm running mine at 23-24psi street, because I don't want them to wear out in the middle.

Its time for me to get new tires. Ecspecially for the back 2. I was thinking of getting some drag radial. I heard the nittos are the best ones to get if you gonna be driving them on the street. I drive about 40 miles total to and from work 6 days a week. How long do you think the tires could last doing that?
