Please, for your own safety ignore the bad, even dangerous, 'advice' you have been given in this thread.
I will reiterate: read the vehicle handbook, or the tyre pressure sticker on the vehicle, & inflate your tyres to the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not recommend higher pressures for fast driving/heavy loading it is not necessary.
Inflating your tyres to the maximum pressure shown on the tyre wall will give, typically, 50% overinflation above the recommended pressures......a car in this condition is dangerous.
The vehicle manufacturer knows more about your car than any well-meaning 'experts'. Manufacturers can't afford to give bad advice - they are the ones who will be facing the product liability lawsuits if things go wrong.
