Ok, I just called Les Scwab to see what they say. Although he agreed the E rating was a bit overkill, he said they should be just fine. He recommended running in the 40 psi range for everyday driving.

He said there is a formula to figure out the proper psi.

Weight of the vehicle/4=X

X/max pounds per tire = Z

Z /max tire presure = % of actual PSI.

I hope I didn't miss a step, but this sounds reasonable.
