It also causes suspension to wear prematurely as well as drivetrain, but once again someone will dispute that. I also believe (this is something that I know will be questioned, read previous post) that it does provide significant safety hazards under certain driving conditions. Argue away, like it has been in other posts and for the same reason that I told the OP that this may be the biggest waste of his time. I will keep my inflations within reason.

Feel free to continue to portray opinions as facts. The manufacturer uses many factors to determine their recommended pressures, and fuel economy and performance often take a backseat to comfort.
