HI,
On mine, which are 215/75/15s, the tyre place (National)recommended 26 psi on the front and 29 psi on the rear. Fully loaded, 29 psi all around.
They have said Quote " If you run at 29 psi on the front (unloaded), you will get excessive central tyre wear."

I personally think this is a can of worms as people will choose their own pressures, but that said, the beast's ride seems A lot smoother at 26 psi on the front.
Hope this may help.
Kiwi

Thanks to all, I will split the difference and go for about 27psi.
