I have Toyos, 13.5 wide on 17x8 rim. The tire dealer had them at 35 psi and they ran way to harsh and it rode really squirly on the highway. I lowered them to 31 and made a big difference in handling and ride comfort. I could probably go down more to like 28 but so far it feels good where it is now.

I can't believe that the edges of the tires touch the road.

2 door here, heavy bumpers winch etc. I keep mine between 28.5 and 29 psi. I have 38000 miles on this set with pleanty of tread left for another year or so. Rotate'em at every oil change and they will treat you well.
