It depends on how good the track is. You would want to go as high as possible without spinning. Start at 16psi and go from there

I almost always run 15psi. Last night I tried 20 and it hooked well on the first run but spun on the second. I don't think I've ever had them spin at 15psi. I've gone down as low as 12 before, but 15 seems to be the sweet spot.
