Otto,  Earl Wooden did a lot of research on racing tire recommended 
pressures. I  didn't see your car, so I don't know what tires you are using.
Goodyear  land speed tires all sizes are 70# min.   80# max. rated to 
300  mph. with 1,700# load.

Goodyear front runner all sizes are 60#  min.   70# max. and not rated 
or recommended for land speed  racing.

Mickey Thompson Bonneville tires are 90# min.   100# Max.     400mph.

Hi Doug
 
I only ran 55# in the fronts which were 20" and 65# in the rears which are  
28" Bonneville Good Year High Speed tires. I still had some sidewall flex.
 
Does Mick still sell his LSR tires or are only used available?
 
Thanks for the info!
 
Otto
