Default How low can u go with stock bfg

I was wondering how low you can set your psi on the stock bfg's before it has a negative affect? I was at the track last week and i had them at 26 and these two older men come up to me and ask what I had them at. I told them and they were saying to bring them all the way down to 15psi!? I brought them down to 24 and filled my tank up just a little bit under half and ran a 14.31 at 99mph!! 60 was 2.29 My best yet for the stock tires!!

I just wanted opinions, can I go lower than 24psi?

I run the front stock tires at about 50 PSI... I've found that the street tires I used liked upper 20's... my M&H Drag Radials like about 25 PSI... I believe radials like to be more fully inflated.... but to answer your question... you can probably drop below 20 and try it... maybe down to 16 to 18... but i wouldn't be surprised if it made your et's worse...
