the only time there is an advantage of running higher tire pressures is in rear wheels to reduce rotational resistence when drag racing. I wouldnt suggest driving around every day with tires exceeding the max pressure. Keep in mind that it says 35psi on your tire that is its maximum pressure and ideal is actually about 30-32 psi. Also, when you're driving the tire pressure will increase as the tire warms up, so if the tires are already exceeding the tire pressure when cold, they will be even higher once warmed up. (increasing your chance of a blow out)
