   40 lbs hot or cold?   
   How long have you owned it?   
   Any services done?   
      
   Tire pressure is part of the pre-delivery inspection you pay for when   
   you buy the vehicle.   
   Tire pressure must be checked with the tires at ambient temp. They can   
   go up over 10psi when at operating temperature. This is normal.   
   If you have owned it over a month YOU should have checked tire   
   pressure already.   
   If it has been serviced checking tire pressure is part of the service   
   - if checked cold, the service guys didn't do their job.   
      
   And lastly, 40PSI will not hurt - and on that vehicle may provide   
   better handling (more predictability) than the recommended pressure.   
   (depending on the tires etc) Too low pressure is MUCH more dangerous   
   than moderate over pressure.
