Always 2-3psi higher that cold pressure when you are doing high speed / long distance drivings.
You will not realize any problems untill you have a tyre burst at high speed. Luckily you hadnt had that. Also by keep low psi in highways your tyre life is getting reduced as well.

Actually it is always better to carry more water, even if you get stuck somewhere there is ample water to support you.
I always carry a 20lit bottle in the boot if the trip distance/days are more. You also save lots of money rather than buying those bottles at 10-15rs/lit.
