pretty damn sure that both wheels spin the same m8....

but someone else might be more qualified to answer that question.

none-the-less, filling your front tires with different pressure doesnt sound like the best idea.

For me the only wheel that really spins is the passenger side.

yeah, that's what i've heard a couple times already, and to put less air in that tire so it hooks better.....

Don't you get a pull tho with the less pressure on that one side? Might wear your tire quicker too over there.

I find that the passenger side wheels lights up first if at all in high speed turns as well as when launching. My excuse as well is weight of the driver.

I can tell you dont run 38Psi! But mine always spin the same with the new tires.
The tire shop set mine to 38psi when I had them rebalanced and the thing lost 50% of its traction.

the wheel that spins faster should b the one with the least amount of traction. if that happens to be ur passenger wheel most of the time then it is coincidence. the weight of the driver mite have something to do with it (who knows) but im sure if ur driver-side wheel was wet that would spin and ur passenger side wheel wouldnt even move. i see it all the time on my friends mustang GT. he has an open differential (like cobalts without LSD) and when he spins the tires sometimes the left one lights up.. sometimes the right one lights up... and sometimes both do

That is correct. Tire with least traction spins.
