Default Tire Presure???

This is mainly for Raminator.Since we both have lower profile tires, what pressure do you keep yours inflated to? Mine are 275/45 R20 with a max psi rating of 51psi. I just dont want to run them too low and wear the side treads down, and I don't want to run them too high and wear the center treads out too quick. Any help with this would be great.

i keep my 275 55 20s around 35 psi, I have more tread on the shoulders than in the middle, so I probably need to drop it a few psi, but if i put any more than that in, it rides like a stage coach
