As with most aspects of tweaking a car, it's a compromise. there'll always be a trade-off to higher or lower tire pressure. Increase pressure, and you will improve handling and economy, at the expense of comfort, and if you push it too far, tire longevity. The trick is to find the right balance which suits your preferences and driving style.
That's all there is to it, really!

As long as you don't increase the pressure so as to exceed the max pressure listed on the sidewall you aren't going to experience any abnormal or higher than ordinary wear. It's when this pressure is exceeded, or you drive on underinflated tires that you'l experience premature wear.
