WRONG!!!!!!!!! The lower the psi the worse it gets on street tires. With low tire pressure on street tires the only rubber touching the road are the slim outer portions of the tires. Now go bang your head against the wall...

Don't. Run your street tires at the required pressure. Don't treat your 60,000mile tires like wrinklewalls.

Re:went to the track last night *with video*
when i went to the track i ran 3 times with 44psi which is the recomended max pressure. i droped the psi to 35psi on my last run to 35psi and it hooked up better, it ran 2/10th
sec. less. i noticed it hooked up a bit better too. i think the lowest on street tires is 25psi, which is what some guy with a supercharged rsx type s was running. he smoked the crap outta souped up late 90' camaro ss.
