Default Anyone else runnning BF goodrich DR's?

I'm running 315/35/17 BF goodrich DR's on my Z, These things just don't hook on the street. I warmed them up tonight and didn't even launch, I rolled and layed into it and they spun likt it was the cool thing to do. I'm probably running to much pressure in them, if anyone else has luck with these tires, I'd like to know how many psi i should take them down to. Thanks!

A buddy of mine has the 315/35/17s on his mustang and I want to say he goes like 1.8s on them, and they hook decent on the street after they are warm.
