with normal driving i would run at about 32psi but not sure about pressure while towing tho

Sounds a bit high to me, I believe 30 to 32 is plenty

I run 31 X 10.5 X 15 BFG's and have them at 31 psi and when pulling the car transporter they never go above 35 otherwise you loose grip under braking conditions, too much pressure and the load will cause you to skid forwards
