Default What pressure to run ET Streets at for best life?

I had Nittos previously and they got the best tread life running about 27PSI. Just got a pair of ET Street radials today and I'm wondering what sort of pressure I should be running to get a decent amount of street life out of them

Are these way more squirrelly than Nittos? Because man... I get on it a bit in these and I am all over the place. Not spinning, I just can feel the back end of my car move around a bit. They feel like bias plies!

Ive had mine for 6 months at 20-35 PSI, went as low as 18 once. I still have much life left.
I think the amount of life youll get is related more to how much racing you do more than tire pressure. If you use the tires like they are meant to be used they wont last long!

With the et streets (not the drag radial) my car moved around quite a bit a couple times!! It was just something you had to get used to and learn how to keep it from doing it.

running et streets (not the drag radial ) against radial on the front can get to be a great problem. unless you are running a heck of alot of HP the MT drag radial will hold most any street car if good suspenion.
as to milage at 22 psi on street I maaaayyyy get 12-1500 miles from them
