With My Type 65 I have run up to 36 PSI on 3.50 x 19" Blockleys
My car is faster at the higher pressure and steering is much sharper. We are talking about the 60 to 70 Mph area.
This is almost certainly down to reduced rolling resistance as the tyre does not deform at the contact patch which gets smaller at the higher pressure.
The ride gets a bit harsher and road bumps throw the car about a bit more.
I discovered this when I forgot to let the tyres down after winter storage at high pressure. I normally run at 26 to 28 psi.
