Tire pressure

When I drag race I know that my rear psi is around 15-18 psi, but what about the front tires. What should I have them at?

Re: Tire pressure

If it's just bracket racing, then I'd just run them at regular street pressures. But if you run in class racing, and want to squeeze every last MPH out of the car, then I'd inflate to max recommended to decrease rolling resistance. But if that's the case, you'd probably be running skinnies in the front anyhow.
