Oh ya, If I want more speed I put more air in the tires.

Approximate tire diameters:
Stock - 7.5 inch
"Dirt mode" maybe 1-2 Psi - 8.0 inch
"Street mode" maybe 5 Psi- 9.5 inch

It won't even measure on my auto style pressure gage.
which in turn puts added strain on the transmissiona nd acclerates slower


Not true. more air in the tire means LESS contact patch to the terra-firma which results in LESS friction, which in turn FREES up the tranny and takes more strain OFF the drivetrain.

Um think about 4 WD rock crawlers that take most of the air out of the tires to GAIN more friction
