Here's the link to the wikipedia link on tires
Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

follow the references. It is generally well known that overinflation puts less ruber on the road, hence the lower rolling resistance. But rolling resistance goes both ways. If there is less resistance in rolling, there is less resistance between the tire and the asphalt, giving your brakes less of an ability to stop the vehicle.
