I run 60 PSI year round for both lower rolling resistance and much stiffer performance in the switchbacks in the mountains here.

Folks on this forum go ape shit every time I bring this up so be prepared for a thread derailment, but the only things I'll say are that I've never had a problem with this, it brought greater longevity to my tires, and I've even avoided becoming the 4th car in a 3 car accident thanks to my preparedness and alertness as well as the car's agile handling, even at 60 PSI. I even had a big puncture from a gnarly piece of metal I picked up and it didn't act any differently than blowing a tire at 35 PSI.

It just works, so get over it.
