P255/65R16 tires on 2000 Rodeo - Tire pressure?

So,
About a year ago I had to get new tires and went to Pep Boys. About an hour into it they tell me some guy right before me took the last tires that I needed (they told me they have 4 in stock when I got there but I did see another Rodeo in there along with mine).

So they suggested these tires (P255/65R16). I checked the manual and they are not suggested in there. So I consulted with them and they said their computer says its ok (plus apparently these tires were more expensive and they were willing to cut down the price because of the hassle - this was probably bull because theyre the same tires). I went along with it and have had them w/o a problem for a year.

Today my rear left tire was almost completely empty! Maybe its due to the cold weather? Anyways, I dont know the proper tire pressure for these tires. The manual only has recommended pressures for the two tire sizes it lists and since the ones I have arent in there, Im screwed.

Is there a formula to figure this out? Or should I just keep them at 26 psi?

Thanks
Dimitry
