He says 50 for mine and yours. I only went up to 48 on mine and they lost about 1lb over winter so I left them at 47.

If you look at the tables I posted earlier, it will give you the estimated PSI based on your p-rated stock tires. Assuming you had 275/55r20 stock, the max load at 35 psi is 2400. I went to LT 35/12.5r20, so to carry the same load as my stock tires, I need 40-45 psi based on the table.
Your stock tires are designed to carry 2400 at 35 psi. With your move to 295/65r18, 40 psi will carry 2360. 45 psi will carry 2560. So to get back to specs you need (based on stock load carrying capabilities) to be between 40-45 psi, but likely somwhere closer to 40 psi.
