Hmm I’d like to know, I run 40psi [emoji28] I’ve found it helps with my fuel economy.
And tyres around corners at 29psi feel like they’re going to roll off bead haha.

Toyota don't make tyres, and to suggest 29psi is dumb ( unladen or fully loaded)
Ive tried the 29 psi and the car was like a boat, and the roar/squeel around corners told me there was not enough air in them. Felt the tyres and they were hot.
I run 34 -36 for long distance highway runs as well as around town. Huge difference!
To qualify. I have a canopy, drawers, bar and dual battery.
Would much rather put safety ahead of comfort, but its not a bad ride at all
Under inflated tyres will wear at the shoulders, buckle upwards in the centre under heavy breaking, and buckle in the middle on wet roads.
Over inflated tyres will wear in the middle, and under heavy breaking only the centre will have contact with the road.
You can even see this in skid marks on the road. Under inflated and you'll see two skinny lines, (the shoulders only)
Over inflated, and you'll see a skinny single line. In both cases you don't have the tyres full contact patch to help you.
The right pressure is not a one size fits all, but dependent on speed, and the load you are carrying

LOL, 14 months !

I run 40psi in mine, 33x12.5R15, to try to save a quid in fuel. I mainly use my truck for round town driving. It does kill my back over the bumps, or it could be the heavy duty leaf springs the previous owner was running unnecessarily. Really should sort them out...
