You can play with both and see what combination improves your riding feeling.

If your rear shock doesn't bottom up frequently, and if you don't ride two-up, you can safely experiment with less pre-load.
If you do, and are happy with the result, recalibrate the height of your headlight beam.

The manufacturer's tire pressure recommendation is just a starting point that works for most riders, you could be an exception due to your weight and riding posture.

I have the feeling that you could lower that rear pressure some if you use temperature of the carcase as the limit for low pressure.

These threads explain more:

The way it is now, you may suffer some rear chattering and side-walk when leaning hard on crappy road surface.
Thank you
