Question Tire pressure question...

whats up guys/gals,

i was just wondering what every1 runs for psi for daily driving and what u use 4 the track. i run Yokahama A-540s so it would b best if there is some1 who has these same tires or something similar. ive noticed that they handle turns pretty good, but they r horrible 4 launching...maybe its just me, but i think they s*ck.

thanx in advance 4 any and all help,
jake

I run 32 psi for the front and back while around town, but at the track I lower the rears to 26 psi.

Thats more like it. 32 is good around town. Next time i go to the track im gonna start playing with air pressure, but it probably wont do any good as my times always get worse as the night goes on.
