Tyre pressures - larger tyres

Start with the factory pressure and see how it goes. I find that my Yokohama AT/s tyres are best at 32 psi.
Higher pressure causes the centre of the tread to wear faster than the edges. If I run them at under 30 psi the edges take a pounding.
Mine also look low, particularly the fronts. This is normal for radial tyres to look a bit low even if they aren't.
It's going to be a bit of trial and error I'm afraid

Trouble is they're non factory size tyres so no recommended pressures.
Look great though especially on the black rims - in my opinion.
What are the BF tyres like on Tarmac? And do they affect fuel economy?
The General Grabber AT I have fitted aren't as good on Tarmac as my UHP (road biased tyre) I had before and they are slightly noisier and also use slightly more fuel. I would expect the BF ones to be even worse.
Epicuser - I've only had them on for less than 24 hours, so I cannot comment on fuel economy. I can't imagine it making a massive difference. On the road, the handling is no different from the Marshal Road Ventures on the 225/55/17s that I had on before... if not slightly better. Reference noise, they have an appalling dB score, but to be honest, I haven't noticed anything... that said, it's a Land Rover... not a car I bought for refinements and luxury, so there are probably numerous rattles and grumbles I don't even notice anymore.
Kizzeh - No... it's probably a combination of light factors and the fact they are brand new.
