Standard pressure is fine, keep a check on your MPG and if you find a massive drop you can up pressure +4 psi front and rear.
I like to run "my" pressure's a tad higher with an AT tyre, find out what suits you and your usage.

I run them (19's) at 36 front, 38 rear for everyday use. No handling issues & perfectly good fuel consumption.
Fully laden I increase rears to 42
Minimum tried so far 19 front and rear & still got repeatedly stuck  Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

What did you get repeatedly stuck in? Guessing sand or mud.

In sand drop to 8psi if you have to, just be carefull on tight turns and inflate back up for the better conditions.
