I wouldn't call your opinion worthless -- just like most folks, you're presenting your own experiences and folks can decide based on everyone's input. Same here
Also, mounting/balancing/stems/Nitrogen/recycling of old tires came to about $450 ~ a bit over a year ago. For me, the LRR + Overinflation is a percentage in the total FE gain among several factors. I've been on really rough pavement (including gravel) and haven't had a gash or blowout. But I will agree that I won't compromise on tire quality -- never have (some immediate family worked for Firestone in Akron, OH years ago, so it was common knowledge, so to speak).
The only noted side effects are crosswind stability and snow traction. Otherwise, no complaints.
In full disclosure, I have heard of a bulging belt that led to a blow out on a really inexpensive set at 50 psi. It isn't without it's risks -- as life is in general...
