Default Recommended PSI on BFG DR's

What PSI do you guys recommend running my BFG DR's at? I haven't ran them at the track yet (brand new) and heard other guys running 14-15psi. That sounds pretty low to me, not sure though.

I have 315/35's on 17 inch wheels, 15psi will work well with the my short sidewalls? I'm gonna hit the strip this friday and try them at 15psi. Thanks

Sometimes with the short sidewall if the psi is too low they could cup in the middle and actually decrease your contact patch. I would start with around 22psi and work your way down to 16psi if needed. Anything lower than that you'll just have to see if they're gonna work. I do about a 5-7 second burnout, get them nice and sticky.
