The weight transfer cause by braking is far greater than under accleration (i.e. road cars stop quicker than they go), so by that measure we should all pump up our front tyres more than the rear?
The rear weight transfer under acceleration (in any road car) is minimal, adding passengers or loading the boot will have much more effect, and that's the same for any car.
But anyway, the rating plate is good reference point to start with.
