255-50-17's Should you run a different tire pressure than normal with this size?

I was wondering. I have 17x9 rims and have 255-45-17 tires on them.

Do I need to run a different tire pressure than normal?

For street duty I found 32 just great!

I run mine around 32-34 and the ride is very reasonable, even around town on bad roads. Let it go down too low and it will really start wearing the edges of your tires. I had one go down to 24 for a couple of weeks and it is now noticably more worn than the others.
