Well that's not completely true. More pressure doesn't have to be a bad thing. It reduces roll resistance and reduces tire wall flex during cornering. Just depends on what you're doing with your tires.

But in all honesty, I stick to the door jamb sticker. I like to have my tires last a long time.

I was talking about normal driving condition here....not auto-x, lapping, or drag racing. Most people here are talking about normal driving condition.

For normal daily driving, as I mentioned before, stick with the specifications.

delta901 has his tire pressure at 41 psi. That is 9 psi above the specification!
