Hawkn that pic was at 18lbs. I started raising the pressure and the 60 is getting better. The tire works killer but the new shocks are allowing it to stay planted. The radial is very stable down track the only thing I have seen is they are not forgiving. If they spin the pass is over with.
i am glad real tuners are showing it can be done at higher psi. i have been saying this for a while but my car is FAR from quick compared to others. i have gone as low as 14 psi on the same tire and the results are very hit and miss. i have run them at 20-21 psi and they hooked and mph'ed better.

I have always been a proponent of higher air pressures. Most people run their bias ply stuf with too little air. The new radial technology WANTS high air pressure.

Since the car your working on is a heavyweight at 3600+lbs, I would think it would take even more psi.
