lower them a LITTLE bit if u want..........and since youre on street tires, drive AROUND the water box....NOT THROUGH IT. no 10-sec burnout's, just a turn 'em over to clean 'em off and pull up.

Street Tires = regular driving tire pressure,, and no water box,, go around, and maybe chirp the tires a bit to clean them (though, i doubt that eve does much in itself)

I agree 100%. I got my best hook on the strip (2.15 my very first ever run) was achieved with cooper cobra GT tires set at 34psi (what made the most even burnout marks on pavement) and NO WATER BOX and a 1-2 second "burnout" while staging (didnt even smoke, jsut rotated a tad to pick up some compound and remove sand, etc)
