Default Tire pressure?

I recently ran over some tape and it stuck to my tires, by the time i went to take it off i drove with it on my tire for a decent amount of time. When i got home i noticed the tape was only worn out in the very middle of the tire this concerns me cause it made me think my tires are over inflated and im only riding on the very middle of each tire rather them being completely flat on the pavement then i realized i have no idea wat my tire pressure is supposed to be so can someone help me out i do mostly street driving and hit trails maybe once a week what should my pressure be casual street driving? Off roading? On the beach? Its an 07 2 dr sittin on 35s x12.50x18 18 inch xds 3.5 inch lift

on road you'll be happy with 25-28 psi, if you go offloading you could safely go down to 12-15 psi. You could go lower but sounds like you need to get out there do some wheeling first to find your comfort zone.

What is your wheel width??? A wheel that is too narrow for the tire will pinch the walls inward and cause the tire to wear in the middle faster. Therefore, lowering pressure even more is required for an even wear.

But see for yourself by doing the chalk test and adjust accordingly.

Personally, I spray my driveway with water and adjust pressure until the whole tread area is wet. And I do this when the tires are hot.
