Default Tyre pressures

Can anyone please help regarding tyre pressures for my 2003 5.7 Hemi SLT quad cab short box 4X4 ?

It has the 20 inch rims with P275/60R20 Goodyear Wrangler HP tyres.

The id plate on the door jam only quotes for the 17" at 35psi.

I don't have my service manual as yet so desperately need these pressures for both highway (fast speed) and loaded conditions.
Many many thanks.

I thought it said max pressure of 45psi on the sidewall.

The max on the sidewall is just that max pressure of the tire.

Just go with the 35psi and you'll be good to go.

Thanks guys, that's what I'm running with at the moment.
She seems OK, but I'll watch the tyre wear closely.
