I run 25% over on my truck, but these are Firestones.

It gets better than the MPG I got with the tires pressured up to the sidewall number (80 psi) but I suspect anything over 90 psi is a waste. At 100 psi, I don't notice any "crowning" of the tires - the tread is dead-flat across.

I'm talking "E" rated (ten-ply) tires.
