You're going to have two different PSI readings. One for warm tires, and another for cold tires. Unless you're using nitrogen, of course.

And potholes hurt.

Its not really worth it. Especially with gas prices down. I would try it for a week you probally will switch back to your regular air pressure. Just dont exceed 40psi or you will start to go past the load bearing range.
You mean INCREASE.
