I wait until 70kts, especially in places like Vegas. Reverser to idle, feet on the brakes simultaneously. Works great every time. In fact, this past Sunday, we were landing 26L in Vegas when the tower asked us to exit at A6 instead of A7 since they flew a 737 of an airline with a widget on its tail right up our butt. I applied the brakes at 70kts, and even though I did so somewhat more robustly than normal, they never went above 200C. It was +37C outside.
