Just watch that you don’t run the pressure too low. Tire pressure not only affects the load capacity but also the sidewall stiffness of the tire. As you lower the pressure you will get more “squirm” in the tire, more deflection between the direction of the road wheel and the tire tread. So directional stability will go down if you go too low, and if the the rear is too soft versus the front you will induce oversteer, where as you corner the rear end wants to come around on you. In NASCAR parlance you will run loose.
