Optimal Tire Pressures for Drag Racing?
hi,
i'm planning to drag race my car at Infineon Raceway in Sacramento fairly soon. i just got Toyo Proxes T1-S tires on less than 300 miles ago, sizes are 225/45/17 and 245/40/17. i have stock 17" rims for now. what tire pressures should i inflate/deflate the tires to?
lastly, any launch tips? brake-torquing around 1200rpm seemed to do alright on the stock Pilot Sports. does holding it in first for the launch help?
thanks!

cool. are lower tire pressures or higher tire pressure better for T1-S? i am thinking lower pressures are generally better, but i've heard that T1-S need to be inflated high to perform best.
thanks.
thanks.
