Over intlated tires - how much do you do?

How much over the sidewall rating do you run in PSI? As a general rule, what % over sidewall do you consider to be safe?

I tend to wear out the edges of my tires first since I don't brake before entering turns, so perhaps over-inflating by a decent amount would help to even the wear out.

Right now I think I'm running 5lbs over the manufacturers recommended pressure, but I might go for more and monitor my resulting MPG.
