18psi? @ track, whatever is getting you that 1.7!
30psi on the street, if you over inflate them you'll wear out the middle quicker than the outside, just my experience.

What size do you have? I have 315-35-17s and 20-22psi works best for me on the street. Any higher than that and I wear the center out more than the corners. Keep testing the air pressure at different levels at the track to see what works best for you. When testing, try to launch at the same rpm as to see the difference each setting results in. Start higher and work your way down till you find what you like.

13psi at the track. 25-30 on the street. when you air them down, and then do a burnout the psi goes up. so after the burnout it wil be around 15-16 psi.

I emailed nitto, they said 26psi for the street, 15-20 at the track, 315/35/17's. The lower hte pressure I ran in my nitto's the faster the centers wore out, its the opposite of a regular tire. You don't want to overinflate them either though. I ran my old 275's at 17psi on the street and the center is bald and the outside looks brand new.
