I run a ds-2 front and usually run them at 40 psi. Et front I would run them at the same pressure.

Whatever the tire manufacturer reccommends for max psi minus a couple is what I would do. I do believe the DS-2 I have on my car says a max of 45,so I run them at 40 so there's never a concern of them getting too high.

They only say do not exceed 35 during seating the tire and thats it??? So I ran them at 35, I wanted to go as high as possible while still being safe

Yeah but it was a waste to even bring my car up. I only got 2 passes in. First run car dead hooked and bogged a bit but got going pretty fast and the rest of the run was clean, but the ******* tower fucked up and I didnt get a slip.
2nd run was a new best 60ft and 1/8th but missed 4th gear, so I let off coasted the rest of the run. Im beginning to hate my pro 5.0 seems the return spring is off.

All in all it was a crappy day for me, but Im happy about new 60 and 1/8th considering the DA was like 3000 and Im still on the stock clutch wich limits my launches to around 4500.
