Over-inflating tires

Everybody here recommends increasing tire pressure beyond what the vehicle recommends, but I see many of you also increase the pressure beyond what the tire recommends. My Kumho's have a 44 psi max. 44 or 51 seems to be the industry norm. Is it safe to run 55, maybe 60 psi? Are the benefits above 44 psi worth going beyond the tires limit?
