32 psi on the street.... any lower and you will blow them to pieces

drop to 18 when you wanna race
I run 19psi on the street and a friend of mine who has the same tires runs 15 on the street.

i run mine on the street alot with street tires 275/40-17, how big of a tire do u think i could fit on the stock rim, i think there 16's? and would having a smaller drag radial be better than a bigger street tire?

Stock rims on our cars is 17x8's....... I am not sure what the biggest tire would be. How do those 275/40's fit??? I need some bigger meats on the rear of my stang.

They are not going to "blow to pieces" at lower than 32 PSI. I run mine at 25 on the street and 20 at the track. But remember psi will differ depending on track conditions and the cars set-up.

Which wheels did you have stock on your car? I had the "tri-bars" and they are 17x8. I know the other stock 5-star GT wheels are 17" as well.
