Working for several years as the lot boy at a Toyota dealer, I noticed that the cars all came with the tires overinflated. Not just a few pounds, they were typically all jacked up to 60psi. I wouldn't want to leave them like that for driving around, but it gives me a feeling of some confidence that maintaining the max sidewall rating of 44 won't overstress the tire.
