A couple of thoughts:

Inflation pressure is but one of many factors in tire wear. Many people report no problems using elevated pressures, but many people do!

Car manufacturers spend a great amount of time testing their vehicles at the pressure specified on the vehicle tire placard. To my knowledge, very little testing is done at any other pressure - by car manufacturers or individuals. I urge caution when using elevated inflation pressures. You don't want to find out you have a handling problem at the limit of adhesion in the middle of an accident.
