Default Michelin Defender LTX - What psi are you running?

Just curious what you all are running for psi. I have a 2010 Base model. No towing, no hard driving. Some gravel roads.
Thank you

Thank you
If P-metric, you stick to around what your door jam says.

If LT, then you pump it up to around 42-44 psi.

What’s “on the tire sidewall”, is a range the tire can accept, not specific to the car or driving habits/style,which is what the OP is asking about.
Thanks for your helpful post though. I’m sure the OP appreciates it.

Thanks everyone for the input. They are not the LT version, and I am running them at 35-36psi and the ride is great.
Thanks again

2011 base with 265/60/18 running 33psi. I like a softer supple ride(like my old 04 Gx470)
