pro comp extreme all terrain pressures?

Ok guys, I have a set of 35x12.50x17 load range D on the truck, and I am trying to see what others with this tire are running for tire pressure. I have them set at about 50 psi right now front and rear, and they LOOK to be wearing ok, but I am not 100% sure on how they are wearing. I just wanted to get a feel for what others are running with the same tire before I do the chalk test.

Good deal. I think I will stop and pick up some chalk and do a chalk test on them before work to get the proper pressures ironed out. I really want these to last a long long time.

I've had 35x12.50 d tires on stock rims since new. 45 on the fronts and 37-38 on the rears is what I run. I pump up the rears to 45 if I'm towing anything with significant weight. My last set of tires, pro comp mt's, wore fairly even but the middle was worn just a hair more than the outsides. I'm sure if you had a 8.5-9.0 inch rim you could run higher pressures.

FYI... for anyone with these same tires... I did the chalk test on the tires today, and I settled on 40psi front and rear.. Seems that will give me the best wear....
Thanks for any info... when towing, I of course will up the rear pressures.
