Shinko, 15psi, hooks great, but heavy. I've had the pressure as low as 8psi, but you run a big risk of blowing the tire off the rim.

The U soft is a great tire. I am running the 200 at between 8 and 10 psi. stretched 7 inches, I came off the line, shift to 2nd and stood the bike up and this was on the street. This happened twice today as I was testing it getting ready for the track.

Like we said before. You could try 15 but I will not hook up until around 8 to 10 psi.
