Tire Pressure Sensor Question

Tire Pressure Sensor Question
I hate the "summer" passenger tires on my F150 while towing (TT is about 7000lbs loaded). It just feels like they move around too much. Maybe it's in my head, not sure. I want to get some new tires and have started the research phase. Some of the XL and E rated tires run a higher PSI. How will this effect my tire pressure monitor or how do I let "it" know I'm running a different type of tire? Don't want an indicator I can't turn off.
Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question.

My 2014 XLT Heavy Duty Payload package truck with E rated tires, (55 psi front and 60 psi rear) didn't come with tire pressure sensors from the factory, but it was originally a Canadian-spec truck. I would consult with your dealership to determine if you can get sensors for that much pressure and if not, if they can turn off your TPMS alerts. Also make sure your wheels are rated for that much pressure.

The dealer can reset the TPMS system for the higher pressure.
