You probably won't gainmuch at all by deflating street tires, they aren't designed fpr low pressure running. In a worst case scenario you could lose the bead at that low pressure and possibly have the tire fall off the rim.
never had any trouble with them. I tried all kinds of tire pressures they worked better for me with 40/20. it also helped a fellow with a 02 ws6 break into the 12s with just a drop in K&N filter too. ive seen people run em with 15psi on street tires before without a problem. there are alot of people that do the same without problems and it only yielded good results
