That won't help at all unless they are drag radials. The sidewalls on a regular street radial do not flex therefor do not benefit from lowering air pressure at all.

Also, if you are on regular radials, don't do a burnout in the water box. Drive around it completely avoiding the water. Depending on the tire will depend on what type of burnout you need to do. Some tires if soft enough will benefit from heating them up, but some other stock type tires will just get hot and greasy making traction worse.

Just my opinion..
That's the beauty of a power sliding seat. I could easily reach the firewall with the pedal. Full foot to the floor.

You didn't race though, so you can't give me much crap.

And FWIW, I aired my Michelin Pilot SS down to 25-26 PSI from 32-33ish. I probably could've done more, but I didn't feel like waiting over an hour for the shitty "mobility kit" air compressor to pump my tires back up from 20 PSI, because I wanted to get home. lol

The Shell station one mile up the road has free air.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. But there's nothing like getting a freak rainstorm while on slicks with 10 or so psi!
