Default Tire pressure???

My question to anyone is what would be the proper tire pressure for (ON) road use. I am running 37 X 12.50 TSL Irok. The max PSI. says 65 PSI. I set them at 60 PSI. Any opinion on that reference proper tire wear. I know a little less would maybe make a better ride but the price of tires I would sacrifice ride for wear you know what I meen? Thanks alot for any info...

I guess I should say when I'm driving to the mall

I have been running 31lbs in the front tires and 30lbs in the rear. That's with BFG 37-12.50X17 KM2's.

Now I just need to stop my TPM light from comming on all the time.

did you try matching the spare? I'm about to try this out and see if the TPMS will go off if all 5 are the same
