P-Series "Extra-Load" PSI?
I've searched and searched, but couldn't come up with an answer.
Here's the story, I bought a set of Yokohama Geolandar HT-S GO51 all-season tires, and the max tire pressure says 41 psi on the sidewall. These tires exceed the oem tire specs because they are rated as a P-series "Extra-Load" tire. The oem's were just regular p-series tires, so I don't think I can go by the door jamb sticker.
The tire shop put 40 psi in them to seat the beads (recommended by the manufacturer). The ride is alot smoother than the A/T's I had on my truck previously, and ALOT quieter. They handle very good, and they grip like crazy.
I really like them, but it seems I can feel every single bump in the road with the tire pressure near the max psi. What psi do you tire experts recommend for the best wear and ride-comfort for this type of tire? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.

36 - 38 is probably a good place to start at for those tires, assuming you have the P255s. They are rated at 2469 at 41 so somewhere around the 36 - 38 should be enough for your max load on the truck.
