Increased tire pressure will help prevent a blowout from bent rim or pinched tire from pot holes and bumpy roads. It does increase the risk of puncture somewhat though. Honestly, neither of these has been a problem for me, and Wisconsin has some pretty crappy roads here and there.

If you don't feel comfortable going to 50 psi try 40 out first, then try 50 later if you want to try it.
