I am running Nitto NT05's235/40/18 9" width on the rim the manufacturer
calls for a maximum pressure of 50   psi
and 335/30/19 on the rear with 12.5" width on the rim. I run both front and
rear at around 40 psi although during pot holes season ( the spring) I tend
to run closer to 35 psi. I have not experienced any problems.
