1LE Factory Tire Pressure
I was wondering if any of the 1LE owners would be able to look on the info tag inside their drivers door to see what the factory tire pressure recommendations are for the front and rear.
Thanks in advance!

Course vs strip but....
If I remember right: I took a pass @ 29 lbs and went 12.4 (2.1 60' @ 125) Dropped to 24lbs and went 11.71 (1.87 60' @ 123) Dropped to 23lbs and went 11.67 (1.83 60' @ 123)

OMG, my 1LE was delivered to me with 44 psi in each corner. It felt like I was driving on bowling balls until I lowered them. I'm not sure if the factory or the dealer did it. Did everyone else's come with "Nitrofilled" from the factory or was this a dealer addon for my car? It came with the white-logo-ed valve caps that look horrid on the black wheels.

With lower tire pressure though on the good years you may not get sidewall wrinkle but you will effectively increase your contact patch area which will give you more traction. With less pressure the flat spot on the bottom will become bigger thus give you more grip.
Obviously the tire is not really intended for drag racing with the low sidewall but lowering the pressure can still help a bit. I'm sure with SUKXOST though he did improve his driving as he warmed up to the track.

Mine came in at 38 psi and I dropped it down to 32 psi I'm thinking of going with 30 psi. No Nitrofill either. |
