I have allways run 32 lbs, but have never had your tire size. Thats based on
getting even tire wear during normal street use.

I was told to always run what the door sticker says by my tire dealer. I'm running 275/40-17 up front and 315/35-17 in the back at I believe 30 lbs.

Wouldnt having low profile tires require a higher tire pressure?

No the amount of pressure required is based on vehicle weight or load. My F250 says to run the tires at 85 psi. That's fine when I've got a load but when empty I run 55 psi or the truck bounces all over the road.

Correct.

For a street tire, run what the sticker says.
