careful not to second guess the engineering - the air pressures are specified for front and rear, and supposed to give the proper 95/5 torque split front to rear. The front tires do carry a lot of weight but to my mind it seems reasonable that the system would have been set up to account for this.

Keep your tire pressures as specified on the fuel door and keep your two largest tires on the front.
