You don't have to burden yourself with this practice indefinitely, but just enough times to gauge how the tires react to a slightly rearward bias change. The GVWR accounts for a load range of up to about 200ibs. And additional load on the rear can keep the tires from sliding and scrubbing the surface. Downforce
Something interesting to experiment with.

But I do check my tire pressure every week.
