Take out air at the track, to get a little bit more rubber contact, hence less wheelspin.. But, you also chance breaking something.. More air, more spin.. Less chance to break something.. In my book of DSM racing history, it's better to beat up the tires than to break a center diff!!

your boss must be very gullible. The air you breathe right now is about 80% nitrogen. switching to 100% pure does very little on gas mileage etc... the only benefit to using Nitrogen is Nitrogen molecules are larger which means you loose less pressure over time.

i drop then to around 20 psi so i hook up...

i bought tires with a taller sidewall so i have more squat on the launch

255/45/17 and since the ix 4th gear sucks with a normal size tire i pick up 4-5mph 122 bald- 124.5 full tread...

i've read it helps stiffen up the tire and as you know after driving the car the air heats up and the air expands... its suppose to cut down on that...

does it really does that... idk....
