My 2012 Ram manual plainly says running the tires a 70-75 lbs withtout a load reduces the contact patch on the road, creates uneven wear because the tire has a more round cross-section (more wear in the center of the tread and less wear on the edges). It also results in a noticeable rougher ride.
But it is a PITA to change the pressure and reset the TP monitoring system. So I don't do it often, unless I'm not going to be towing for weeks at a time. Such as when we are parked for a volunteer hosting job.
