thanks Mark, that makes sense... I went on the internet and read some more (e.g. Tires 101). Adding 5 or 6 psi won't change the diameter. Some manufacturers recommend lower pressure in the Front than in the Rear for their 4WD vehicles e.g. Toyota Tacoma 4WD --> 26 Front / 29 Rear. - The difference of PSI for Front and Rear is meant for stability. https://www.souzastireservice.com/Tires-101/Air-Pressure so I answered my own question :-)
