You have several things working against you:
The slower a wheel is turning, the more force it takes to overcome tread friction. Wide tires make it worse.
At idle the PS pump is putting out its minimum. (Same with water pump, generator, and A/C pump.)

What you are feeling is probably normal. If you are mechanically inclined, you can check pump output pressure and get a pretty good idea of pump condition.
