Default BFG Drag radilals....what PSI at the track?

They are the 255-50-16.....was wondering what PSI you are running for the best results with these at the dragstrip. im going to run my for the last time at the local 1/8 track before I put it up for sale and want to run a decent time.

Last time I ran it I think I was running 25 PSI and my clutch was slipping and I ran 8.0 @ 91mph. Since then changed the clutch to spec 3, got subframe conn., Spohn TA, and Metco LCA's

I generally run bout 15-16psi. I have an A4 and have pulled alot of 1.70's in the 60ft. BFG's love heat too so give them a good burn. I did alot of experimenting with differant pressures but it seems to work well for me.
Just my .02!!

don't go down as far as 12psi. I did and broke my rearend. I am scared to go below 18 psi now. but I take it right to 18,(25 is way too high) -Tim
