I'm just here so I don't get fined.

I don't think lower tire pressure would mess up the alignment but I think
it can make the tires wear more than they normally would if they were
properly inflated. Tires inflated below proper pressure would show more
bulge at the bottom as it contacts the pavement. This bulge could cause
unhealthy wear on the sidewalls nearest he tire tread especially when
turning etc.

I'm no expert but it does make sense about abnormal tire wear if tires are
way under inflated. Whether or not 40/45 psi is under inflated also depends
on the weight of the van etc.
