I would go up to 50 psi if the tires are rated for that then come back down to what ever you are comfortable at. newish car with newish shocks in good condition would give me no pause to using max psi, understand though that I would be feeling for bouncy tires as speed increased. In the winter I get some wicked wheel hop when I spin the tires on icy snow.
