In one of the car magazines a while ago an article about performance
driving by B. Bondurant suggested that hard cornering and/or 
performance driving should be done with tires slightly over
inflated.  I have noticed that my Supra feels quite different around
corners with only slight differences in inflation pressures.
(1 or 2 lbs)  I try to keep them right at the max.  BEWARE.
Inadvertant over-inflation can and will destroy the tire.
Check your tire pressures often and DON'T just add air because they
look low.
