80 psi is the max the tire will take. If you run them at 40 psi, you should be fine.
Thank you. That's kind of what I thought.

I would start at the recommended pressure on the sticker in the driver's door jam. Not the max pressure on the GVWR sticker.
Tweak from there as desired for optimal ride and handling.

We have run that very tire on our trucks between 42-45 psi depending on tire wear. BFGoodrich's website may still provide recommended air pressures when switching from P-Metric to LT tires. Back in 2017 they recommended 50 psi and then dropped it around the same time I saw the center of my tread wearing faster then the outside.

This document has some charts to help guide your pressure decision. 40psi seems reasonable, and that's what I run on my non-OEM sized summer tires.

For max comfort, especially with very light or no weight loading and lazy driving, you can go as low as 30psi.
Although I'll never go under 36psi myself unless I happen to be trying to get unstuck.
The harder the vehicle / tire is working / playing, the more psi the tire needs to protect everything, including itself.
For example, autocross / drift driving typically starts at 44psi.

Be mindful of the lower pressures if you choose to use them; the TPMS settings might trigger a warning for low air pressure.
