That sounds high. 32psi is the "normal" D2 pressure for 45 profile and up except when fully loaded.
I wouldn't expect a 40% profile to be much higher.

Did find a pressure calculator online once that adjusted for different profiles - can't find it now.

On my D2 with 255/35/20's I'm running 40psi on the front and 36 on the rears....feels tight a nuns bum

On the D3, I'm not sure, as I need to check the tyres anyhoo, but they're 19's (for now ) so no good to you
