Funny thing is, my steers are bulging at the bottom when at rest, and I always have them at 110 psi. I will try to post a pic soon. Maybe my tire gauge isn't accurate...

The sliding PSI scale recommended by the tire manufacturer is proportional with the tire load.
34.000 LBS divided by 8 drive tires is 4250 LBS/tire.
Max tire load/tire is over 6000 LBS.
On dual setup and for this tire load most manufacturers recommend 85 psi, usually.
Using 90 PSI helps with the ride comfort, by a lot.
It helps also with the tire wear and traction by maximizing the contact with the road.
Driving in the desert areas the pressure rise up from 90 to 125 PSI.

Michelin used to have them on their commercial tire website. Last time I looked, they still had the rolling resistance calculator, but now you have to do some double backflip-carry the one- subtract the phase of the moon calculation to find the rolling resistance.
