i know man.. i thought the same thing.. i had the 275/60/15s and they wouldnt hook at all at 14lbs.. (thats the lowest that MT reccomended).. then I was talking to somenoe and he told me huge burnout and 9lbs.. wow what a difference.

i only go 1.5s with this tire but have noticed that lower than 15-16 psi and i stoped hooking. 9 psi? wtf? must be doing something i am not. i like 19-20 psi. otherwise you are collapsing the contact patch. 9 psi will not work for most of the cars in here.

uhh.. okay.. thats why the car 1.45'd and people w/ the same tire, pressure are in the 1.2x range.. just because im new to ls1s doesnt meant im new to cars. now maybe the low pressure doesnt work to well on the 17s? all i know is thats the only way ive been able to get the 275/60-15s to hook. and that was with about 600rwhp.

holly crap 9 psi lol . your mph is really gonna suffer for that psi if your tire stays on the rim 
If ya cant hook on 18 psi your not heating them up correctly.
