To second what Frank has said - Look into Autocross. Those guys race with overinflated tires because they understand that the tire will provide better grip and cornering ability with less tire roll while over inflated.

Hence the reason I take their advice (as in my first post in this thread) when they say things like "run them on the street normally for 1,000 - 2,000 miles before you pump them up".
