I have a set of Dunlop Radial RT 265/75 16's on my 99 D1. What kind of pressure to people use for everyday driving with these?

Thanks-

I run 34 front 38 rear. Any lower and the steering feels to sloopy to me.

I may not be in the majority but I always run tires on all my vehicles at maximum pressure listed on the tire for the maximum load. Better fuel economy and only slightly less comfortable ride. I run 65 lbs in my MTRs. I also think this might save the side lugs from wearing prematurely and giving less performance off road.

I run 40psi in the front, and 45-50 in the rear, on my BFG AT 265/75's on my D2. Any less, and they look too squashed to me. After two years, even wear.
