        35 is a lot. 28-30 for the street(thats cold), and new they will hook good, so you can probably run 20 to start at the track. But I run 14 at the track.

          I run 34-36 on street. at the track if I run them at same pres. as street I can run without spinning 60ft 2.1XX when I still have all the weight in the back. and 2.2XX when lowering to 18psi with weight in back. but when I removed all the weight (sub,amp,spare,jack,rear seats,etc I had bad wheel spin and could only get 2.2XX but when lowered to 18 with weight out got 2.0XX so play around with it at the track because depending on car setup you can pos. run quicker with street pres.

                35 is the factory air pressure for "high speed driving."

                  Jeez...

                  I run 32ish on streets...

                  in drag I run like 28ish...

                  I don't have nittos... but 15 psi seems pretty extreme....

                  so a burnout.. and see the type of patch you leave behind... if the middle is bowing out, decrese pressure, if the middle is boing up(outer edges of the burnout are bigger) Then increase the pressure...

                    Seems extreme, but once you burn off the nice new rubber they tend to heat cycle and need lower pressure to hook. Unless you drive on them all the time.

                        I just got them mounted (brand new) and run 28 psi in them on the street, getting them broken in for the track.

                        I've never gotten sideways across the street in second gear before...
