Run normal pressure in the fronts and about 20-25 on the 315's (rear) and at the track you can lower it even more.

I've had problems wearing out the center of my Nitto's regardless of what psi I ran them at

My Nittos always wear uneven as well. I have only been through 3 pairs, but I have found that leaving them at 24psi makes them wear a little better. Maybe I can try a little lower like 22.
