Just noticed my rears are wearing down more in the center than the outside, and in generally this truck eats tires like cookie monster eats cookies.

I'm guessing I'm running to light for the door sticker pressure of 65 PSI in the rear, and was debating dropped them down. I don't "usually" have more that 1000 lbs back there at this time of year since my 5th wheel is parked. Looking for a recommendation.

30-35 psi is plenty
 
Hit a scale with your typical load (i.e. 1000 lbs) along with full fuel etc. and weigh the rear axle. From there you can use the load / range charts for your tires and it will show you what pressure to run.

I've been trying to find the load chart for the stock Nexen HTX tires, but the tables only show total load capacity at a given speed rather than load capacity by inflation pressure. Unless I just don't know how to read them.

 
35 psi is sufficient to support a RAW of 6,280lbs, so likely will cover most your loads.

35 psi is generally the minimum recommended pressure for street use on a LT tire.

I’ll run 30 in the winter and as low as 25 on slow dirt roads.

You don’t need a brand specific chart for load and inflation tables. I like this Toyo chart.
