4.6 bar is quite high...
Tires also work as suspension. If you pump them that hard you'll increase wheel travel; the shock absorbers will generate extra resistance.
The rougher the road the lower the optimal pressure is. For a very light car and a standard tarmac road I think 3 bar is optimal, unless you run on space savers 
That said, if you prove me wrong I might pump mine beyond 3 bar
