bridgestone psi?

So i'm going on a trip to GA in a couple of hours and when i go to the gas station to get a couple of things, my TPMS goes off (i've had really bad problems with mine!) the side of the door says that i should fill it up with 32 psi. But the problem is that my runner came with the Bridgestone dueler H/T's. I would be guessing that the 32 psi is for the dunflops? Am i correct. What would be the average psi for the H/T's?

If those are the stock tires that came with the truck then 32 psi is the recommended.

My uncle told me once that what is on the door jam is the recommended psi for the tire size that came with the vehicle. I don't know how reliable that advice is though so don't hold me to it. :)

The temperature here in N. VA hasn't dropped low enough, but in the dead of winter my TPMS light will be on in the morning time. I'll drive a mile or two and the tires will warm up sufficiently and the light will turn off. The tires are already inflated to the recommended psi. PSI can drop one psi for every ten degrees that the temperature drops so keep that in mind.
 
For all it's worth, I just aired my stock Donefloppies up to 41 psi this weekend. It's becoming winter out in southern California meaning the temps will be dropping into the lower 50's or upper 40's!
I run my stock DoneFloppies with 38 psi in the summer and 41 psi in the winter. The maxinum psi for stock tires is 51 psi which means that 32 psi is just barely over the half way mark.
The mfgr suggests 32 psi for a smoother ride and maxinum tire patch contact to the road. Airing your tires up a bit yields a rougher ride but better gas mileage due to less tire resistance from a smaller tire patch contact with the highway.
 
I usually run 36 psi all around, year round with Revos. You should be safe with 36-38 psi on stock tires (Dunlops or Bridgestones).

Make sure you check your spare tire as there's a sensor in there as well that could trigger your TPS light on your dash.
