Default Darkside tire pressure?

For those running a 195/60/16 car tire on the rear, what pressure do you usually run? I've been running 32-34 PSI on my '16 Roadglide, but noticed the tire is wearing much more in the center than on the edges. Of course, this is on a sidecar rig so leaning is not an issue.

38 psi. With either the 195/60R16 or 195/65R16
And of course that is with sidecar. I swap wheel back to factory when sidecar is off.

Check the tires instructions, what rim do they recommend? Im seeing some car tires people use like a wider rim than the 5" i have.
i dont have a side car, but my middle is giving the outside edges a run for the money.
I initially used 40 psi, but im backing down to 35
