But wouldn't a tire with higher pressure push more into the road surface, due to there being more pressure per unit area between the tire and the road?
And anyway, if it were dangerous and grip was compromised at higher pressures, wouldn't there be a load of test data to prove it?
Instead all we get is people telling us it's dangerous.
