They're rated for 51psi. 55 should be no issue.
I've been running 47 psi in nokians on my Echo (rated for 44 psi) for 6 years now, with no problems, handling, braking, or in snow/ice.
The ride is a bit harsher, to be sure.
Oh, and now that I think about it, there's 65 psi (rated for 65 psi) in the tires on my '73 landcruiser, and I haven't had problems with them for 15 years either.
It doesn't seem to me that people need to be scared of inflating their tires to the max rated pressure stated on their sidewall.
