Default Ok...Need some advice on Tire pressure for Saturday..with some new tires I got

Well..tomorrrow if you didnt know..is the Nighttime Drags at Fontana..and Imma go out there..and see what she can do! Anyhow..I just got some pratically new Nitto Drags 205/45/ 16 and just got back..from launching it and it seem to still spin pretty badly ....I had to get back to work ..so I couldnt heat em up or mess with the tire pressure. This is my first experience with these tires..and from what I hear there pretty sticky.
Anyhow..any experience people out there that have em..and know if I should heat them up first..and what type of tire air pressure I should be at.?

My specs are just a pretty stock Type R motor with a 6 puck ACT clutch,jdm header, Carsound cat. and thats pretty much all.

what do you recommend?

Heat them up first and lower until you get rid of the wheel hop. Trial and error

Reid is a Ricer...

I'd start at 22psi, and lower it from there until you are happy with the way the car hooks up..
