I run 42 as I tow all the time (everyday) and I have gone through more tyres over the years than I care to think about.... before people start going on about towing there caravans and get big miles out of there tyres I tow around town and make many turns in a day.
Towing heavy trailer in the suburbs just kills tyres...... I have tried all different ways and know how to get the best out of my tyres, I have even under very heavy load run 46 in the rear for single trips.
I would never run anything less than 38 for normal road use but find the sweet spot is 40.

What extreme tracks have you done? Mind you our extreme is probably a little different to others.

Re: What tyre pressure do you use off road
33" Cooper stt's, 38 psi till I get bogged.
I keep em hard off road because I like a big of sideways action and it's too harsh to roost and slide on soft tyres;-)

Coopers have a tyre recommendation pressure chart I do believe.
I run Kumho muddies 33"
Road - 38-39 psi 40+ I find the ride unpleasant
Dirt tracks and rough unsurfaced roads - 28-34psi
Rocks and nasty tyre shredding terrain - 20 - 24 psi and slowly, minimal wheel slip
Sand - Beachport to Robe I dropped to 18 as the sand was SOOOOOFFFFT.. in places along the beach.
Through Simpson last year I sat on 20psi most of the sand, Oodnadatta track sat on mid 30's.

What tyre pressure do you use off road
I have the Cooper SST 33's as well and am usually carrying a lot of weight.
Look at your tyre max psi... On the SSTs, I think they are only rated to 38psi so on-road, I use 32psi.
Firm off-road- around 20-25psi depending on corrugations etc.
Playing in the sand dunes/ soft sand- 10-12psi.
I find the SST's on 15inch rims really bag out well.
Don't inflate over recommended rating as they can let go in spectacular fashion.
