Tire pressure for bigger tires
What air pressure are you guys running with your oversized tires? Do we really need that much more pressure in the rear tires as opposed to the front? In the past I’ve always been able to run much lower pressure on over sized tires on the street. Like 20ish psi don’t and back. Have load range e tires so good side walls.

The second way is to check with your tire mfg and see if they have a chart for pressures which are normally based on weight. It will tell you an optimum pressure (again cold) to set the tire at. Some times you have to dig to find it however or call their customer support line.
Closing thought, this pressure is for operating speeds not for offroad...

it is because that is the max and because the Disco rear hatch area is meant a carrying space for a pretty good amount of weight. In one of the books i have on them somewhere it gives unladen pressures which are much lower in the rear

All tires/sizes are different & so are the vehicles they’re installed on. Discount Tire always over inflates my tires. I prefer to come home & do a chalk test. Start aired up & go back n forth over the chalk until all of the tread is covered by the chalk = tires are aired up properly per your application. Once you do it, you can keep a record of the Front/Rear PSI & then quickly air them up in the future.
Learned that back in my Jeep days as everyones idea of proper PSI was never correct due to equipment/tires. Chalk test will without a doubt get you to the proper PSI.
