This has been posted on here before. The consensus on it at least one of
the times it was asked was to inflate ( or deflate) until the tread has
full contact. One way to tell this is to drive in a straight line across
some wet pavement. Then look at the tire contact the wet pavement.
Another method used was to put chalk marks across the tread and drive in
a straight line and check for even wear of the chalk. Here is a site on
tires: http://www.1010tires.com/tech.asp?type=tires_general#airpressure
Scroll down to the pressure heading. here is a link to a Tacoma forum:
http://www.tacomaworld.com/ You may be able to find more info there.
Or, if you register you may post there for free.

FWIW I am running 36 front and 34 rear on my '99 Tacoma with the tires I
have on it now, with no load in the rear, in order to get proper tread
contact. This is different than I ran in the previous tires.
