The OP might not sit on 140km/h cruising though, and with the stiffer construction of an LT tyre they might not need as much as 26psi.

Yeah, I reckon it says 26. And that's for a P-metric tyre with no load rating. That's why I said "approximately"
If the 4psi technique was applied to those geolandars, I bet they'd need a lot less than 26.

If the 4psi technique was applied to those geolandars, I bet they'd need a lot less than 26. True, but the OP is looking for a number to start. So I gave it to him. No idea what load rating the OP has, but geolanders ATs' in general are a bit softer than other AT's on the market.

Sorry to post in old thread
What tyre pressure should I run with 235/75/15 Geolanders AT in a Vitara SWB on road?

If you want to try an experiment, you can try the 4psi "rule" - this will likely indicate a pressure a few psi under the placarded pressure due to the stiffer tyre you've fitted. . There's also some personal preference involved, but not much. In my cars I generally run at the "high load/high speed" recommendation on the placard because I like a firmer feel on cornering, but I don't on my defender because it takes the rear tyres to something like 65psi.
