Tires like being run with a lot of air in them. It reduces flex, flex generates heat, and heat destroys tires, so for continuous high-speed use you want to run a lot of air.
It's difficult to 'overinflate' a modern, stiff-carcass tire. At some point the tire gets stiff enough that it no longer conforms to the road very well (poorer handling) and causes your backside to conform to the road too well (poorer ride) and obviously you don't want to go there...
For some reason I think my 205/50-16 PZero Asimmetricos are marked as 44psi tires. I may be wrong, I'll have to check this.
One other consideration for the original poster is that "PZero" is Pirelli marketing-speak that applies to a number of different tire versions.
