I put between 35 and 38 psi. I always use the highest psi that keeps the tire in the proper shape.

With oversized tires you want more psi. If you run to low it will feel real bouncy going down the road. For you 45psi might be better. I had 265/70r17's on my 05 grand cherokee and ran stock psi and it felt like crap so i bumped to 50psi and it fixed all my problems. try 40, 45, then 50.

For a stock tire any thing bigger you should need more air. Its more of a guess and check.
