Back in the day when goodrear eagle gts and gatorbacks were the hot tires in scca showroom stock racing, racers with fwd cars were routinely running 50 plus psi cold pressures in their front tires to minimize the tire rolling over onto the sidewall and to minimize the chunking of the outer edge of the tread due to the extreme heat generated. If they could get away with that under racing conditions we can surely do so on the street. Having said that, I typically run pressures in the low 40s cold in both cars because having some compliance in the tire carcass to cope with potholes and such is easier on the tire and the cars suspension. Reference Fred Puhn's book "How to make your car handle" and you will learn a lot....
