You just need to find what you're comfortable with, balancing between comfort and wear. I have the street tires on mine. I run at 39psi cold, which gives me between 42 and 45 on the highway, depending on the temperature. I feel the road variations a little more, but this gives me even wear and the best economy possible. I drive about 1k miles a month for work.

On stock tires I might could see that. In fact I ran 38psi cold.

However, on 37x12.50R17’s I’m still beyond the load capacity at 26psi. I hate the chalk test and the one I just did supports my hatred of it.

The best I could guess was 31psi with just the last 1/8th of the outside edge being less scrubbed. Pretty sure the neighbors thought I was on crack, but their daughters didn’t mind when I gave him the rest of the case of sidewalk chalk cause I only needed one piece.
