i think there is a max psi on the tire. mine says 32psi so i keep it like 29-30. i guess one the reason for skinnies is the friction created by the asphalt and other reasons but...

Those cars running them above recomended pressure prolly aren't any faster. But when they need that little tire to do as much as it can to keep the car straight in the event that there swapping back and forth in the rear end . Well in sure they sure will crash alot faster. Moral is run what they tell you to on the tire.
