Default What tire pressure for ET streets

What is the ideal tire pressure for drag racing. I just got mine back from having some new valve stems, and resealing thebead again. right now they are at 32psi. I know this is too high. but what is ideal for racing.
thanks
Wesley

I would start around 18-20 psi and see how it reacts, then adjust accordingly.

With a 10 bolt I'd keep them as inflated as possible and let them spin.

thanks for the response's I will keep that in mind. I dont mind breaking the 10 bolt and once I do, I will order either a 9 inch or a 12 bolt. not sure yet on which I want.
