Done it that way for years with plain street tires and lightweight (thin sidewall) race tires and never had any problems.

They are designed to withstand 45 psi at 150 mph speeds and 200 deg. temps., so sitting in a cool garage at "0" mph should be a welcome rest at 35 psi.
Thanks, mine are stacked 4-high too so the keeping the pressure at 35+ makes sense to aid the separation
