Take a chill pill way too much worrying inflate to rated tire pressure listed on sidewall of tire.
This advice is extremely incorrect in the OP case! The OP has the correct inflation for his tires figured out. fully loaded 35 front 45 rear. I would run 35 rear empty.
Would you run 35 in the rear when not towing just for the comfort or more due to likely more even tread wear across the width of the tire? If it's just for ride comfort, the ride is not bad at all with 45 in the front and rear but definitely don't want to cause any uneven wear with too much tire pressure.
It’s sort of a balance between pressure, tire vs rim width and tire construction.
Some combos cause the tire to balloon a bit more than others. Others are happy tuning higher than needed pressure without affecting treadwear.
Generally if rim width is well matched to tire width less potential for ballooning or the opposite with too wide of rims.
Interesting. Thanks for that insight.
