In the 70's I tested tires one summer for uncle sam - for blowout - you need close to 100 psi in a 32psi rated tire hitting a pothole at 45 mph.
You are safe filling any tire to the max pressure on the sidewall - if you can stand the ride.
I tried 40psi in the Dunlop rate 44psi but the civic wandered in the wind. 36psi is just right for me.

wow 100 psi lol
I just wish somebody would tell these AAA guys, who are interviewed everytime the news does a story on hypermiling, that there is no problem filling past the recommended PSI on the door jam...... and that hypermilers dont tailgate.... and that it's not a hazard to do the speed limit...... etc etc
