I ran them on my V8 equiped M37 a few years ago and currently on my WC-51. Great tire. As for highway pressure, I ran about 40 psi on the M37. (WC-51 hasn't, and likely won't see much "freeway" driving.)
The sidewall notes something like 80 or 90 psi, but the weight rating for the tire is way higher than our trucks require, hence I found I could let down the pressure some and still not get any side wall flex.
I understand the heat created by side wall flex at freeway speed is the issue. As long as the pressure is equal to the load on it, no flex = no heat.
