Same as stock tire pressure looks good - Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure is 33psi F/R.

Do I get any hints, or are you going to make me guess?
Are these tires LT-Rated or P-Rated?
Putting them on a LC200?
That'll do for a start.

LT of course.. Why would anyone buy KO2 in P?
. My rig is a LC200.LT of course.. Why would anyone buy KO2 in P?
It's only obvious if I know you are talking about KO2's. As you can see, other tires are also being discussed in this thread.
The Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure for your LT275/70R18 tires is 41psi F/R.

Argh! I would swear you landed on 40. But no worries. That is why I carry a ViAir compressor.
40 is for my 285/70/17 KO2s.
Is so confusin'
But we have gaijin...

When I was shopping for my LC, one of the local dealers had a demo - driven by the GM for the dealership - with TRD wheels and KO2s and they were not E-rated. Clearly for show, not substance. I would have had them remove them if I decided it purchase it. And they do make them with lower ratings but not in very many sizes.

OK. Put them back at 42. Now they ride like a truck. LOL! I know 40 wasn't right. Heck, I even let them slip down as low as 39. But they did feel nice at that PSI. Driving from Sedona to Escalante tomorrow. Planning to do the Cottonwood Canyon Rd. route if its not muddy but other than that all highway. I expect I'll get better MPG running them at 42. We'll see how they feel at speed.

The sad thing is that I now seem to remember him telling me once before, "No, its not 40, its 42."
Scary when the mind starts to go. Maybe it truly is getting to be time for me to retire. 
KO2 come in load ranges C through E. I could see someone who wants the traction of a KO2 but doesn't need the super tough carcass of an E going with a lower load range in order to have a softer riding tire.
The answer is 42.87345824059283
Don't ask why. It just is.
Don't ask why. It just is.
the answer to life the universe and everything is 42.
So it will always be 42 indeed.

If I had just remembered my Hitchhiker's Guide I could have avoided all this tire pressure calculation stuff ... indeed, it will always be 42
Yep It's the ultimate wise man guide.

FYI. Had one of the valve stems go bad on me some time over the past week or so. Was off on a trail near Escalante, UT and discovered that my right rear tire was down to 36 - and dropping. Got back into town where there was level ground and swapped it out for the spare. Will get it fixed this weekend. But I was sure thankful that the TPMS on my 2016 shows all 5 tires.
The valve stem or the valve core?
I don't know yet. All I know is that when I removed the black plastic valve cap I heard a slight hiss. Not knowing how to fix it I swapped the tire for the spare. (Also gave me a reason to practice changing the tire with the standard Kit.). I plan to take it in to Discount Tire on Wednesday once I finish my trip. For know I am driving without a reliable spare.
Is there an easy way to tell the difference between a stem problem and a core problem? And would it make a difference on how to repair it? I'll admit I know very little about tires.
A tire valve core tool is cheap and easy to carry. If the valve core is just loose, then you can tighten it up in a jiffy. If the hissing stops, then maybe you've solved the problem. But that is the limit of my knowledge.
I carry a valve core tool and spare valve cores. I've never tried replacing a valve core, as I suspect that would break the bead anyways I don't have a compressor.

ARB makes a good tire repair kit that includes tools to repair a puncture and/or fix a core issue: ARB Speedy Seal Tire Repair Kit (10000010)
Thanks, I believe I have that kit or at least it looks the same. I had a demo on how to use the vulcanizing repair cords but I have never had to use one. I know my kit includes those. Haven't ever looked at or considered the core issues. And of course I didn't bring that kit with me on this trip.
