->it would seem to me that with maximum tire pressure, so too would 
->come maximum stability and ride.  
->
   With maximum pressure you'll get an increase in stability
and a harsher,firmer ride (better for performance not so good for
your behind or ears[increased road noise]).
 In autosport competition tyres are usually at max. pressure but
bear in mind in most competition tyres are expendable as long as they
give MAXIMUM performance(longevity is not a prime consideration).
  As you are buying a performance tyre max pressure might be the way
to go, HOWEVER if you notice the centre of the tyre wearing more 
rapidly than the outer edges drop the pressure a bit.

->i agree.  who am i to question a man who has installed tens of

 Both points are valid , but is this installer the owner of the 
shop ? Would he prefer to see you buy new tyres every year instead
of every year and a half ?
