I don't have those tires but, I always run about 10-15% lower air pressure than what the max. listed pressure is on the sidewall. Most tires seem to be OK like this. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What are the GT 2? Street Performance tires?

I just got the GT2's as well.... I am runnin 29-31 on the street. Haven't taken it the truck to the track with them on yet, but I will prolly run 20-22 or so. I like the tires, but I still cant hook up all that good.
