I don't have stats to back this up...

Heh! I'll back you up, mang...
And, you can take this from the World's Record Holder for Honda B16A2 FE!
50 psi is THE sweet spot for regular street tires... not 36 psi or even 44 psi... I've tried them all - door sticker to 50+ psi!
If you're a real tweak and run 'Land Speed Record Tires' - Bonny Tires - you can get away 60-70 psi, but I think that's getting a little extreme...
Anyway, pump them babies up to 50 psi and I guarantee you'll see that everything
Matt Herring said above is 100% true!
Um...
I suppose it goes without saying - but we're talking auto tires here, not truck tires, which require considerably more psi...
