Actually, the stated max pressure on my Bridgestone RE-750s is 51 psi max.

I think that is fairly unusual for passenger car tires, though...

I doubt if the difference between 35 psi and 70 would make 5% 
difference, but that is just a guess based on when I had my Dynojet.  I 
could see 1-2 hp difference at most, in a 10psi bump, but we never 
recommended much over 5psi over factory recommendation due to the chance 
of the tire exploding. 

Modern radials have pretty low rolling resistance, and more pressure 
doesn't make as much difference as it used to with bias ply tires.

I don't know of any passenger tires that say 50+ is safe.  Especially at 
100+ mph.  With the tie-downs forcing the tire down, you can get a lot 
of heat quickly.
