Thirty five pounds is a good place to start. If you want to be more specific, draw a line about an inch wide,, all the way across the width of the tire. Next, drive it on flat pavement and see what kind of pattern you have. If you see the whole line, then you are pretty close. If you see a chalk mark made by only the center of the tread and none from the edge, it's prolly a lil over-inflated. If you see edges and none in the center,, then it's under-inflated.
When you go off-road, you'll prolly want to air down. Just be careful not to go too low with air pressure. It's much easier to break a bead loose from the rim.
The amount you air down off-road is dependent upon several factors which include: tire type and width, rim type and width, and type of off-roading (mud, rocks, snow, sand, trails) .
