trading some ride comfort for better handling and less rolling resistance. Just because the door sticker says that, doesn't mean it's optimal for every case. If you've owned a BMW (I haven't, just read the manual) they usually give you various choices for tire pressure for better ride, sportier handling etc., and the door placard is usually somewhere in the middle. Yeah, overinflation can be dangerous, but 10 or 20 percent over should not be a problem at all. Never exceed the max pressure stamped on the tire, though.
