At the track I looked at other cars and alway notice that their front/rear tires are low on air. When I asked, I get response like 20psi, 25,psi, etc. When I tell them I have my fronts set at 45psi, they go and look at me like I'm stupid. Then they go when they lose to me.

My front tires only need enough flat contact to the ground for a good launch. Notice how I can still pull a 2.1 60' with 45psi in the fronts. The main reason why I set the fronts to 45psi is for faster acceleration, better top end, to save gas Notice how my trap speed is high
What is the recommended tire pressure on our tires?
