OEM recommended psi is based on specific load like passenger and luggage weight and its distribution .
I exceed Avanza OEM recommended 31 psi front and 35 psi rear by selecting 40 psi for its fuel economy and agility (aka power) .
44 psi gave me too harsh a ride hence settling at 40 psi for relative comfort .

correct...based on total weight, including the car
over-inflation reduces rolling resistance hence better mileage, lighter steering feel...the detrimental effect is less traction more prone to bouncing and sliding...can be very very dangerous especially when wet

Note:These 40 and 44 psi readings are all permitted by tyre manufacturers .
nope they did not say this...they say not to exceed 50 psi, and refer you to oem recommendations... reason is tire maker don't know what car/loading its being put into service, lighter car needs less pressure, heavy car needs more pressure... your 40/44 are fine since < 50 psi, but doesn't make it ideal for safety
