You (and everyone) need to be aware that any tire-related guidance that you get with your TM, whether a sticker, a decal, a manual, or anything else, applies only to the tires that were on the TM when it left the factory. If you change the tires, then you have to go with the specs that are on the sidewall of tire. Usually it will be phrased something like "Max load xxx pounds at max pressure xxx psi cold." Do not exceed either of these numbers.
And yes, if you inflate the tires to max pressure cold, and then drive a few miles, the pressure will rise as the tire warms up. That is OK - it was included in the design of the tire. The worst thing you can do is deflate a warm tire back to the sidewall value. When you park at the end of the day the tire cools, the pressure will drop, and then you will start the next day with under-inflated tires. And under-inflation kills tires.
I'm not aware that any TM ever left the factory with Load Range E tires, but Shane will know better than I. Perhaps it was an option at one point?
