Default Tire Pressure for BFG AT KO (255 70R16)

I have upgrades my tires on my D2 and clearly the factory pressure data do not apply for these tires. My local oil change shop set the pressure to the owners manual and they look low. Anybody know what pressure these tires should be at?

The BFG AT's are "E" rated tires and should be between 35 and 40 pounds all the way around. Anything over 40 and the truck will ride to hard, and thing under 35 and you will start to show wear and lower your gas mileage.
Always run the same pressure front and rear, as an example, I run 40 for street use and 18 for off road.
Set the air pressure where you want it and then watch the tires for wear over the next 6000 or 7000 miles, that will tell you if you are too high or low.
