Default Front tire pressure.

What if nau changes do you make when at the track for the fron tires? I have a guy telling me to take the pressure up to 42psi on the fronts.

I have always though you would want a little sag as possible in the front tires for less rolling resistance. Just don't over inflate the tires past their maximum capacity.

Well some what people do is run as much pressure possible in the front tires to help reduce their rolling resistance. For a set of street tires I know alot of guys will fill em up to 42lbs at the track.

I run skinnies and run about 33-34 psi where the max psi is 35 on them.
