what air pressure provides the most even amount of treadwear for the 285 75 16 bfg's on stock wheels

I just got a set of 285"s put on my PYO's 2 day ago and I'm going to see how 55PSI does.......though tires seem to not last real long on my trucks:D

I have 285 Revo's on stock wheels and run 55 in front and 45 in the rear, unloaded.

55 should be o.k...but check them regularly..also put the rears at 50, the drive wheel is likely to wear fairly fast in the center, so watch it closely, incase ya have to deflate them a bit.

I've always run 55 front and 45 rear (unloaded) and upped the rears as necessary for loading.

When empty I run 50 psi on BFG's in that size, and I have 76,000 miles on them, and I have rotated them maybe twice. All the way around they are worn nice and evenly. I drive like a pu$$y though, LOL.
