Default Tow Vehicle Tire Pressure

Okay, so the first time out with our new 27' TT and I noticed right away that running the tires at the manufacturer suggested levels (29-PSI Front / 32-PSI Rear) is too mushy for my '06 Tundra DC 4X4. I aired up the rear tires to 40PSI and it was much better, but I still get a little "motion-in-the-ocean" when I come to a stop with the trailer behind me.

The maximum PSI on my Firestone Destination AT tires is 44-PSI. So, I just bumped up the rear tires to 42-PSI and the fronts to 36PSI.

Question: Am I okay to run the tires at those levels?

I just did a 200 mile trip last weekend and it did okay with 40-PSI-rear and 29-PSI-front, but as I stated, the front end would bounce a bit when I came to a stop.

I'm leaving for Seattle (from Chicago) tomorrow morning with the trailer in tow, so any good advice would be appreciated.

Thanx.
