Alright, lately me and Civickiller have been trying to figure out exactly how and why tire pressure setups work. We both understand that at a drag race, the lower tire pressure allows the tire to grip faster, but from his experiences, it also slows his 1/4 mile time down. While a higher tire pressure slows down his 60 foot time, it cuts down on his 1/4 mile time.
Now this is where I keep getting confused, knowing that a lower tire pressure should increase grip, or atleast at a track. I know it doesn't increase grip when you start turning. I have messed with tire pressures on my car, and at first before I tried reading anything on it, i figured i would set my tire pressures down and see how much more grip I would get. I was wrong, I lost grip. So I took the liberty to actually read something on tire pressures at
www.SportCompactWeb.com and they helped some explaining it to me. But I'm still tryin to figure out why there is such a difference between drag setups and road racing setups. Anyone able to help me out here.
