Every time I go wheeling I air down to 12 PSI I use my ARB Deflator Part# ARB505

If you plan on Airing down often a good deflator, I would also look at a more aggressive tire if I was you cause those dont look like they will take you very far !

12 psi should be about right, and the tires will do ok for rocks and sand, but suck in mud. If the tires are D or E rated they may need to be aired down a little lower say like to 9 or 10 psi.

well these tires are ones that were on the jeep when i bought it i am trying to save for some bfg km2's so i guess i could air down a little 20 or 25 psi but when i get the km2 going with the same size how low should i go with those.
im running 33x12.50's on some nonbeadlocks 15x8 wheels and i air them down to bout 12PSI and there just fine my buddy runs 32's on 15x8's and he also air down to 12PSI with no problems dont see y u cant
What is the deal withall this non sence?!
If your running 33's or smaller you have no reason to lower your psi below 15. Can you go lower? Yes should you? No. Remember this is your DD not a dedicated trail rig.

Errrr, just cause you air it down doesn't mean you leave it that way. Air down for trails, air back up when you're done. I was running 12 in snow for a while, if it had been any deeper and I would've brought it down lower. Normally I air down to 15 for trails though, I'd feel safe to probably about 10. I have onboard air though so it's easy for me to air back up.
