yeah i just dropped the tire pressure on my proxies from 32 to 28 and my g-tech times dropped .15 consistantly. what psi do you run on the street and at the track. i always just used 32 psi on the track...i was thinkin i would drop it to 25 or so next time.

i love my toyos too! they are the first "street tire" ive put on my truck.. all i can say is WOW.. and if i want to i can smoke them, or if i ever get it right i can lauch it good. but they dont do good on wet grass.. hehe...
but my truck is pretty much stock.. for a lil bit longer. im waiting on a TB stall, vette Servo, wait4me tune to be tweaked, 75 dry shot, LT headers. and what ever else i can find my self buying...

IMO, the Nitto NT-450's are the best!! But, they only come in 2 sizes and only look good on a 4/6 drop. Toyos are my new favorite, they are comparible to the Nittos and come in more sizes.

i would not go to much less than 25lb then the tire is not going to be touching full thread across the tire the middle will push up i think 24 to 26 was my sweet spot.
