If i remember correctly the ford/firestone highway roll over issue was due to low pressure not high pressure.
Low pressure will also cause your tire to roll off the rim on corners.
Never drive with under inflated tires, My advice is to put them 5 psi over at the gas station as they are warm and sidewall rating is for a cold tire.
