You will get lots of different answers. I based my decision for inflation pressures on the NHTSA load-inflation tables. The best tables I've found for conversions were from Toyo's website.

I would run 40psi for daily driving. Any more and will be rough ride. If towing or hauling heavy load then bump it up. Just because 80psi is on sidewalk doesn't mean you have to run it high. More comfy ride at 40 for cruising around town.

So 40 might be about right for my 33s then? Or would your friend recommend bumping it up to 45-50 ish?

Could you ask him for me? 295x65x18 duratrac I would really appreciate it.
