Default Tire pressures for best handling

Is the standard tire pressure 39/35 the best for handling? I can always tell when the pressures have dropped because the car gets really sloppy through turns. When I put them back up to 39/35 it handles pretty well. Would it handle any better if I made them higher? I saw a previous post where people had 40 all around. How does that affect the drive of the car? I know the front should be high because of the weight, but what does it drive like with 40 all around? Has anyone gone higher than 40? If so, how is it?
