Default ET Street S/S tire pressure

I just got some 295/65R15s mounted on 15x10s. These are my first set of drag radials and im trying to get ideas on psi for the street for the run to the track. Ive tried as low as 30 psi and the tire looks like a balloon and not flat like the tire pictured below. Is it okay to drop the pressure any more? The tire currently only runs on the center two blocks and im pretty sure that will wear the crap out of those two blocks. You can kind of see where the tire runs on the two center blocks and this is right off a concrete driveway.

I have the same combo and run mine at 20psi. It lays the tread mostly flat on the ground.

Looks good. I figured the lower the pressure the flatter it lays but is it okay to run on the highway at such low pressure? My main concern is that the track is at least 30 minutes away and dont wanna blow em up from running them so low on the drive there.

Lol. You aren't going to blow them up.

I ran my radials at 35 psi on the street and 15 at the track

I run the same tire. 15 psi around town. They're still not squished down very much.

Good to know that others are running low pressure on the street. Its currently at 28 psi and its laying down alittle better.
