Default 05 dakota tire pressure

i have a 05 dakota 4x4 awd quad cab with the 4.7L. its got the heavy duty suspension and a 2" receiver with the 265/65r17s. im wondering what the tire pressure is supposed to be as the sticker is gone on the panel and i have yet to check them since owning it.

Heavy duty suspension is the only suspension, 35 is recommended with stock tires.

No sticker, go with tire ratings.

well the quick lube place put it up to 44 psi and I started to vibrate which now I found out why. I dont vibrate at all after bringing them down to 36. I will fill them up again though to 40 if I need to tow.

I've found that the quik lube places don't always tighten the valve caps properly and consequentially they get lost. So I got in the habit of checking/tightening them after the fact. Haven't lost one since I started doing that.

Checked the tire place put 35 in mine. Just realized my tires are the new passenger rated Duratracs. So they shouldn't affect my mileage and have a 50k mile warranty. Sidewall appears a bit more rounded so I like the look of the heavier loads a bit better. But they ride really nice, are quiet, and were cheap. So if someone is looking for cheaper Duratracs you can grab the p rated for around 185 a tire.
