Question OK to increase tire pressure?

I Upgraded / Upsized The Tires On My Chevy Tahoe To 34 x 11.50's They Are An "E" Rated Tire With A Max Of 80 Psi.

I'm Currently Running Them At 45 Psi. Think I Should Run Them Up To About 60 Psi Or So ?? Any Thoughts On That?

I Don't Mind My Truck Being A Bit Stiff And Driving Like A Truck. I Just Feel That 80 Psi Was A Bit Extreme.

BTW The Tahoe Empty With Just Me And A Full Tank Of Gas Tips The Scales At 5900 Lbs.
