A friend of mine asked me if he should fill his to 44, because that'* what his max pressure ON THE TIRES said

then why were the tires recalled and NOT the door sticker. The tires were recalled by Firestone NOT Ford

Don't ask me, I'm not intimate with the situation. All I know is that I've read numerous times that Firestone has said their tires were not faulty, and that they blame Ford that the Explorer itself is the problem, along with underinflation of the tires.
I tend to think they are both at fault, but that wasn't my point. I'm just saying that the sticker may not necessarily be right. I've read of many people running their tires higher than the sticker with no troubles, and increase mileage.

Well, you can go a few psi over (cold) the recommended inflation pressure on driver door. Remember inflation pressure increases 4-5 psi when tires heat up.
