I bought set of those and wondering now correct pressure. Size is 245/75/16LT and load range E. I´m usually driving without load (just toolbox and some other light stuff) with me, sometimes with 4 dogs (~220lbs) and sometimes with boat trailer (~1700lbs) so for this kind of use, what would be right pressure?
 
I'd say start at 55 PSI all the way around and tune from there. What's factory recommendation? 55/80?
 
Set them at 50. If you live in town, I'd put some tire chalk on the tread and drive straight down the street a few hundred feet and then "read" the chalk. That will tell you whether it's too low or high. Low will mean there's more chalk left on the inside of the tire, high will leave chalk on the outsides. Then you can tune it till it's exact. Have you had your alignment checked recently? That's the biggest contributor to tire wear.
