If you want to argue contact patch size and traction, you need to run the physics equations for friction.

There will NEVER be a big name organization that will contradict the tire and automobile manufacturers recommendations for tire inflation. Why? Liability in the event of a fatal crash. Even if the tire inflation would make no difference, there could be speculation and a sympathetic jury with a wrongful death/gross negligence lawsuit.
