60 in the front and 50 in the rear, just watch your tires and make sure you are not wearing too much in the center...

I'm running those on 315-75-16 and run them all at 55. I do watch my wear though, so far so good. Rotate these tires religiously, or they wont last imho.

I just find 50 to be not quite enough, I like 55 better. Probably a bad idea, I dont really know. So far so good though.

I have the 285 Nittos and I honestly didnt even see the max PSI Rating on mine(wasnt really lookin too hard)...I really didnt care...I ride with mine at 60 all the way around...

Im sure the PSI Max might come in to play with your max payload or something like that...

Simple way to test for correct air pressure.

Run a piece of masking tape across the width of the tire, drive a straight path for a block or so with minimal steering wheel movement. Stop and look at each tire, checking the tape for even wear pattern. Too much gone from the center of the tape, air down. Too much wear on the edges of the tape, air up.

Respects,
