Tire Pressure?

Tire Pressure?
Hi gang!
I just bought a new set of Firestone Destination A/T's, $567 mounted out the door, what a deal!
I'm running 40psi in these tires to decrease roll resistance, though Ford recommends 35psi (for ride quality I assume). Has anyone else had negative effects running higher psi?

The new tires are 4 ply P tires with 44psi max presure.

Because you changed load rating, you will not be able to use the door numbers.

Too low a pressure will cause overheating, blowouts and tread separation.
I have yet to see a door sticker for an F150 that has p series tires that doesn't say 34 or 35 psi recommended pressure.
