Tire pressure on 33 12.5 16.5?

I'm out putzing around with my truck today while waiting to go stuff my face at the 4th of July BBQ. I was checking the pressure in my tires and they look a little low. 35lbs in there. Couldn't really find a spot on the tire that gave the info I was looking for.

They are BFG All Terrains if that makes a difference. I did see something about 50lbs max. What are you guys running for pressure on a mostly street driven truck?

if the tread width is close to the width of the rim, then I usually will run close to max pressure. Keeps tire temperature down, reduces the rolling resistance, and usually helps with tire wear.

No wonder they seem squishy. I need to get out my glasses and look at all those little teeny tiny words on the side wall a little bit closer.
