When you see recommended front tire pressures on the door sticker that are lower than rear it's usually because in testing the vehicle demonstrated a tendency to oversteer.
Classic example was older Fords that recommended 44# front and 80# rear. Run them anywhere equal and they were a handful. Most found that they just ran regular pressures as indicated along with a few bags of sand, etc, in bed to smooth out ride.

Suspension changes over the years have worked out over/understeer issues greatly.

Don't know why the tire pressure issue is so hard for people to grasp when changing tire sizes or load ranges. The manufacturers provide the info for free and the owner just needs to visit a scale.
