Higher pressures are used to keep from 'flat spotting', I had thought that it was only for the old bias ply tires until i got my new Dodge last year. It had 60psi in the tires. Asked the service dept. How Come? They said the PDI guy had neglected to lower the pressures, and that they all come over inflated to keep them more stable and to Still keep them from 'Flatspotting'.. Go figure.
Guess it's still true, if the factory still does it.
Come to think of it. Each tire had a yellow sticker on it that said something about Caution Tires Overinflated for shipping. Lower pressure. I had to get my glasses on and get it off the tire, to see what it said though.:B
