If its dualled and your not carrying a load, you can got down to 20psi. If carrying a load, I'd go 40psi or better.

I believe that the normal maximum on the NDCC's on the road were about 50-60 lbs, though to make it steer easier you could go 60-70 PSI max (carefully) on the front tires and you will find that the truck steers and rides better on the road.

I run 50psi in the front and 40psi in the rears. I find if i put 50psi in the rears the truck bounces around quite alot
(good to see another UK owner on here)
If I'm running empty I put 40psi in the front and 30psi in the rears. Though it steers pretty hard, it doesn't bonce. On the freeway I use at least 50psi up front.

My truck has a winch fiitted so that is why I run at 50 psi up front due to the added weight. I'm sure if you have a non winch truck you could run at a lower pressure of 40 psi with no problems. 20 psi seems very low for road use, and at speed i can see those tyres generating a lot of heat
