Too little air pressure in a drag slick and you see wear on the inner and outer part of the tire, not the middle......
I understand your train of though but the odd thing is it is ONLY the outside that is worn, the insides appear normal. Nevertheless, i think ill try a few runs at 38-40 just for kicks and then lower to around 36 and try to get consistent sub 2.0 60fts. If i can do that ill be happy.

BTW im on the stock Conti's. I assume thats what most of you 1.9 60 ft guys are running as well? I just want to rule this out as my reason for my less than desireable launches.
