Default Goodyear Billboards Tire Pressure for the Street?

Hey guys, what pressures do you run in your Billboards on the street? Anybody take your car to the drag strip with these tires? What do you do with the flat spots?

The flat spots go away immediately after the tires heat up. I run 26F 24R and sometimes down to 24F 22R. You need to go experiment with what works best for your driving style and road/racing surface.

How about the fronts? Does one pass down the strip get them hot enough? It takes me at least 2 miles to warm mine up.

Street pressures:
32 front
30 rear

I worked upward from the low 20's until I eliminated the hunting & darting tendency to my liking.
