Tire pressure question.

[Street-racer]

I am not sure if I posted this before and it was lost down with other threads.

For dragging what tire pressure is recommended or is best on stock pontiac 16inch tires? Whats for the back and for the front?

As I understand back tires dont need tracktion and have to have higher pressure when compared to front, because front tires need traction.

Your right. The back tires don't need much (or any really.. lol) traction at all on FWD cars, as opposed to the front tires needing it. Be careful though because if you lower your front tires to too low of a PSI, then you will actually be causing too much rolling resistance and hurting your performance. I havent tinkered around with it yet, im waiting till I drop a 3400 in mine to go to the strip with it, but from what I heard 28-30psi in the front and max psi in the back will probably be a good bet

Thanks.

There is no way for me to really figure out the best one, since my car launches differently every time and without going to the track and getting time slips and adjusting TP accordingly I wont be able to figure this out on my own well.

27-28psi in the front and actually it doesn't hurt to over inflate your back tires for a few passes. The harder the rear tire becomes the easier it rolls and should help you, even just by a bit :)
