Drag racers lower rear tire pressure to maintain a larger contact patch.

Not to mention to add a little sidewall flex and friction.

Dam, you are high maintenance, lostsoul.... hehehe

Just get your 450hp, and toast those stock tires. Then buy more Pirelli 235/55s and toast them again. Repeat every 3 months. Easy... right?

Actually, you need an extra set of rear wheels that are 15s if you are serious about drag racing.

Yup... those are definitely on the list of things to get. And probably some front "skinnies" too.
