Over-inflating reduces your grip on the road. Mine was understeering after I filled the front tires at the gas station because the air looked kinda low, so I let some out to bring it back to the way it is after I got home.
Off-topic (kinda): If you want your tires to hold its' air all-year-round, fill them with nitrogen inside of oxygen. Oxygen has moisture in it, so it'll expand and contract with seasonal temperature changes. This makes your tires under-inflated on cold days, and over-inflated on hot days. Nitrogen is bone-dry, so it won't do anything inside your tires
