I'd try 25-30 on the street and 18-20 on the strip.

I run the fronts at 25 and the rears at 22, no problems for me at all, wears pretty evenly too.

25-27 on the street about 20-22 at the track. Dont run to much on the street say more than 27 or it will wear out the center real quick.

Ditto...

25 on the street, otherwise the centers wear out too fast.

20 at the track, do a 5 second + burnout before each FIRST run.

My best 60' on nittos was with 19 psi. I usually kept them at 25 psi on the street.

I've always run 22psi in the back DRs. I have around 13k miles of aggressive driving/burnouts and they are just starting to look like I need a new pair. Not bad IMO for DRs. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

I have 14000 miles on mine and they have not even used 1/32 yet. But I dont go to track all that much. Heck they look better than the F1s on the front with the same mileage.
