I run my tires at 72 psi all the time (load e); I like how it rides. It just depends on your personal preference, as long as they’re not under or over inflated per the sidewall specs.

I put 350 lbs in the back for winter driving - five tubes of sand; studded tires.

I run the same size tires. 45 lbs. front and rear empty. gives a good footprint, even wear, and much better traction than max air pressure.
when I load heavy, with a 5th wheel camper, I run max.
