Here is an article relating to the different operating pressures of LT Vs P Rated Tires.
Nitto Tire tech bulletin
I hope it helps some out.

If I had a nickel for every time a tire changer inflated my tires to 32-25 lbs and called it done, well,,,, 
I might be able to buy a cup of coffee 
I do run mine on the soft side, 45-50 seems best for mine, 40 lbs is like a half sunk boat and 55 is like steel wheels on steel track. IIRC the label on mine calls for 50 lbs.

Yup, Mine were at like 32.
Sidewalls say 50, so I topped them all up to 50. Rides a lot nicer now.
Then I topped off my fuel while I was there and it was 50 bux.
50-50
