Not necessarily. There are a number of trade-offs. Higher pressure, better mileage but rougher ride. Lower pressure the opposite. Toyota's are known for being quiet vehicles. It would not surprise me that their tire recommondation is based on providing a smoother ride. It's very possible that raising the pressure several psi will not affect handling.
