Well actually my front is usually closer to 50psi and I do roll quite heavy. I typically start my week with a pressure check and inflation on Sunday night or Monday morning. I over inflate and leak down to hit my sweet spot about Wed/Thurs then run under inflated Thurs/Fri.
Actual rolling psi is probably more like 48-ish front and 70-ish rear on 35fr/38rr tires. I'm about 235lbs (ride ready) and can easily reach 290-300lbs total rolling weight (me, bike, panniers, cargo) with most of the weight on the rear. I've never checked, but I wouldn't be surprised of it was a 35/65% weight split.
