Question

What's the main reason lower tyre pressures are usually recommended at the back of the car? Is this just because of extra weight at the front or also to compensate for suspension differences front to back and the effect this has on handling balance?

It's all the extra weight on the front wheels because of the engine therefore extra pressure.
