Good point but I like to keep maxc pressure due to the weight I'm carrying.

My 1/2 ton Dodge truck takes 44 psi max but, I run them at 36 psi. Operating pressure is lower than the max. Most cars have a 32-36 psi operating psi. If you run 44 psi you'd probably wear a bald strip right in the center of the tire.
