driving to the track on m/t 305/45/17" advice?

[rookerrobert]

On the street I run 30psi in the drag radial.....but driving it to the track about a 1.5 hours away as you know the tires heat up the pressure goes to around34-36 so I kinda just assume to get to 20psi cold I would take out about 14psi so in theory that should be 20psi cold? I have thought about just leaving the house at 20psi cold and then I know it would correct I just dont like the idea of driving on the street with 20psi

I'm really lost on what you are saying. I drive my car to the track on mickeys above 30 psi. I let air out when I get to the track. When I leave the track I use the pump that comes with the car to get them back above 30 and drive home

thats what I do also....but what I'm saying is can you drive to the track at 20psi from my house it's a 1.5 hour drive. But what you do is what I do also but when I leave home there at 30psi. I was just wondering can I just leave the house already at 20psi?

I was just thinking driving it to the track with 20psi it could ruin the tires.If not I wouldnt have to adjust the air pressure

 

[vortecd]

I wouldn't drive to the track on 20 psi

 

[rookerrobert]

I agree also...I'll do as I always do drive there at 30psi and then deflate them at the track. I have air pump to air them back up anyway I'm just lazy in my older yrs...lol some of the guys told me if you get caught with those slicks your going to jail...I told them I've never went to jail they've also and carried me

Get the Milwaukee air pump. It will solve your problem.

I drive around at 22 psi on the street all the time...... If im gonna make hiway pulls I bump it up to 28 psi but thats on a 315/50. 20 psi isnt too bad just cant carve corners very well lol I keep this in the trunk. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...cdPyYx-9ZV2reLFvMWEaAuDeEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
