Why would you not run these up to 38-40PSI? It's all about rolling resistance.

I have never seen any difference between 35 PSI and much
higher pressures in performance.

I used to run more (45 to 50) til 30 years ago when I hit a
collector in the lights = The darn tire exploded and I would
not like to duplicate the ride after that ever again!! Would less
pressure have made a difference - I do not know!

That being said: I think the Moroso front tires are more durable
than the other brands but maybe a bit heavier.

I run these tires on the dakota and use 40lbs. They live even from a 10 foot drop, I can attest. Very strong tire, sanhuffs, 40lb's in these tires seems to be pretty good to keep the crossmember, and oil pan love scrapes down to a minumum. They also seem to be made of really good rubber, and don't suffer the cracking issue I have seen with others(Thats not going to work with a wheelstander!)

I really like the old style Moroso "Drag Special" front tires, not only to they see to hold air better than any other frontrunner type tire I have ever used, they also don`t seem to ever wear out. I had the same set of Moroso 7.10s on the front of my bracket car "forever", (or at least since Mark Faul was driving Tom Turners Dr. Injector Camaro Stocker, which is before Mark got his burgandy Chevelle and Pontiac S/S car, as I bought the tires from Tom back then), and I changed them just a few years ago, simply because I wanted to try a shorter tire. They still looked like new, and would still maintain air pressure over the winter. The only downside to the Moroso is they only come in 3 diameters. I typically ran mine between 30 and 45 psi.

It's great to realize a product that's been around for at least fifty years is as good or better now then it was then. God bless the late Dick Moroso, he was a genius.
