    I know this probably sounds stupid and since theres import guys in the thread i figured i'd ask! Why is it imports run the tires so they're like completely flat on the bottom and muscle cars run them higher??? Is it because of the turbo?

    its because the weight of the engine is over the slicks, the tires are very likely at the same psi in both applications, but there's a lot of extra weight over the tires hope that helps

    how much air do you guys run?
    i cant see you running the same pressure as i would in a 5500 lb car.

    you also have a lot of rear overhang to cope with, im talking the cars that dont have half their body past the rear wheels! haha and about the pressure, it varies depending on hp and tire size, some people are down near 10-11psi, but remember even with the engine over the tires, its lighter than the cow!

    if we would try that pressure in that car,it would bounce the rim off the ground on the hit.

    haha very true, but yes i dont think that a less tail heavy car would run 24 psi in a rwd app. would they?

    its the overall weight as well as tire/rim combo that determine the tire pressure.

    even in the malibu i ran 15-16 psi on the bottle.
