if no-one can chime in on whether this is wrong, i will probably call Michelin and/or research elsewhere.
You should ask them anyway, I suppose they will reply something in the 42-44 range. They will calculate it so as to ensure the same % of spare capacity that the OEM P-metric tire had.

Driving lower first eliminates that safety buffer.

You can bet they will say it is wrong to run them at 35/33 because at those pressures the capacity is decreased by a lot (but then there is the issue of what size one is running).

People get away with a lot but I did drive over a burst MT from a Jeep on the highway last week. My non-expert understanding is that driving LTs on the highway consistently under 35 if really pushing it.

I am sure there is a way to calculate the load capacity at various pressures.
