Whats better for traction ?

Is it better to have less air in your tires or more? Im asking this because i have toyo t1rs and was wondering if i should have more than 28 pounds in them for traction purposes.

Thanks Glen

For drag racing or street use? I run 38 psi on the street.

Less tire pressure equals more tread contact area and better traction. I like to run street tires at around 20 to 25 psi at the strip. On the street you should be running 35 to 40 psi.
