well...that's a good question. It varies from month to month.
For optimal tire wear on that particular size, I have to run about 52+ psi, but that will bounce you to death.
32-36 gives the best ride, but your gas mileage will reflect it.
Man, it's a tough nut to crack, because the KM2 at that size flucuates so much.
I have tried to stay around 42 here lately, but as much as I am gone it's up and down with the weather and being parked in the garage.
Experiment with it for awhile, and if you rotate all 5 tires into the picture (about every 3k) you too will get over 40k from the set.

Definitely add the spare into your rotation, if you don't already.
I run around 36 in my Nitto's. Not too much bounce at that PSI. Haven't put enough miles on them to tell how they are wearing just yet. But, for some reason, my MPGs have taken a big dip in the last couple of weeks. I wonder why ....................
