I only assumed based on my experience with bike tires. Now that you mention it, I'm not surprised if braking distance is not negatively impacted.

I'm not buying a new tire if they destroy it while I am within the pressure ratings. I'd probably lower the pressure before I came in anyways, just to give them less to lecture me about.
