Street Radial PSI
I know that I should adjust at the track, but what would be the ideal psi for running a set of mt street radials 255 50 16's. I started at 20 and worked down to 13. At 15 psi I ran a 1.76 60 foot and a 12.53, When I went down to 13 psi I ran a 1.75 with a 12.7. WTF?

Re: Street Radial PSI
What was your mph if I can ask?
As for why you slowed down with a better 60ft, lots of things could be a factor, heat soak, air temp etc. but assuming nothing else changed, you could have reached the point where the lower PSI starts to add enough contact patch that the friction slows the car down a hair.
