tire pressure question

Hey yall just had a set of 285/70/17 buckshot mudders put on my truck this morning, love the looks of the tire and everyone says theyre a great tire for the price but my questin is what tire pressure should i run them at. This is my first time with bigger tires, i always ran the stock size (265/70/17) at around 32. What pressure are yall running urs at to get the best wear and mileage? Thanks.

if this is for the 150 that would be close. Best way to id correct pressure is to chalk the whole width of the tread, front and back tires, only need an inch or so. Drive around the block and adjust the presure depending on the wear. Worn in the middle need less wear on the edges need more. This way you can custumize it for YOUR truck YOUR tires.
