stiff walled radials like F1s do NOT like low air pressure as they make the tire cup and you actually lose contact patch. i would run them no less than 30 lbs. now drag radials are a different story.

I normally run mine at 24psi and 60-foots vary between 1.82 and 1.86 .

When I ran on F1's, I started at around 25 and just dropped until she hooked (usually 20-21psi)
