Yes but don't forget. Tire pressure increases with tire temperature.....

So if your MAX ratied tire pressure is 44PSI, I wouldn't run more than 35psi (pressure taken when the tire is cold). After driving for only 10 minutes at 55 mph, your pressure can increase upto 11psi depending on the outside temp and with summer around the corner, tire pressure is an even greater concern.......BE CAREFUL...
