How do you find the right setting for the tire pressure? I know when im racing it is either the kart feels loose or something but in drag racing it is different. How about just your everday tires. How do you find the proper pressure for them? I know they have certain settings. But how would you find it without the settings

nothing you do is gonna make nitto 450s hook.
It really depends on the tire compound, size, sidewall plys etc.
I run 14psi in my Nitto 555Rs, 22psi on my AVSs, 18psi on my old Kumho 712s and it didn't matter on my Dunlop SP5000s. They gripped in that order of stickiest to slickest too. I have run other tires, but those are the only ones I mess with pressures with.
