Depends on the tire. IME, the passenger car tires do not wear unevenly in a noticeable fashion at 10psi over the max sidewall. The tires on my light truck otoh have worn unevenly at 10psi over the sidewall. That being said, since the camber isn't adjustable from the factory, and my ball joints are so worn in the front I have negative camber, I run j-yard tires at $20/tire+rim and rotate/flip to get as much out of 'em that I can.
