I've always had good luck with 40 psi in truck tires for daily driving.

80 psi max is a LR E tire. For those run them at 50. Don't go below 45.

I checked out that size awhile back, the 295x70x17 Toyo MT's and they were close to $270 ea. Can't wait to see some pics!

50 should be sufficient for anything your truck is rated to, towing or load carrying. More will not hurt, but may cause excessive tire wear.

Actually if his vehicle came with LR E and a TPMS system (not that you will ever get LR E on a F150 from the factory), it would be set to go off at 46.
