tire pressure question

I just put a set of 35" general grabbers on my truck. the max psi is 65 so I'm wondering what psi should I run to get the best ride quality but not cause any extra wear on the tires?

I would run them at 45, whether LR D or LR E tires.

I like my mudders at 40 PSI.

Running my E rated trail grapplers at 50. Seem to be wearing well. If they are an E rated tire I would run in the range of 45 - 50. If they are a D rated tire I would run 40 - 45. Between each range you can play around for what feels best to you.

I'd say 40 to 45 psi for daily driving.

Last night I found that they had the following air pressure in them. 57, 52, 48, 55 so I adjusted the rear to 40 psi since I never haul more than my 17' bass boat and put the front at 45 since the weight of the engine is there. Seemed to rid a bit smoother this morning but nothing to brag about. I'll keep an eye on them and see how they do.

BTW, these general grabbers are a very quite tire for the size and lug design they have. Just in case anyone was wondering.
