Jon,
      That's just how it works. Lower tire pressure equals more traction and 
more compliant suspension (sidewall flex). The down side is more tire 
distortion and heat build up. That is why some venues (mostly circle track) 
have minimum tire pressure rules to keep crew chiefs from being too brave 
getting the balance of the setup right. Since we in LSR depend on tire 
pressure to keep the beads seated and heat build up to a minimum I don't 
think it is a tuning option.
