2011 Stock Tire Pressure

I have a 2011 Ranger with the stock 255-70/R16 tires on it. I bought it used. Can someone with the same size tire let me know what the recommended tire pressure is?

The door sticker has been missing since I purchased it used.

Thanks,
-Sean

255/70 R16 pressure should be 30 psi

Per the tag, copy attached, 30 is the recommended pressure.

Tire pressure is a personal choice, within limits

Tires are first line of defense for bumps in the road
Lower pressure gives you better ride and more traction, but higher tire wear and more roll on corners, i.e. sidewall flex
Higher pressure is stiffer ride and less traction, less tire wear and less roll

Look at the side of the tire for recommended pressure, normally I would stay between 28 and 34psi

Thanks! This is what I was looking for - though I've since sold the truck, I hope this helps people in similar situations. I guess I ran it ~5psi high.
