tire hop in the rain is caused by the rain not getting pushed thru the treads.....ie worn uot tires.
Despite what 'might seem' logical, a tire does not "blow up like a balloon'.
Yes, a 10psi tire is flat.
but a tire at 40 psi IS NOT bigger around than a tire at 36psi.
A tire at 40 psi is not curved or bulging in the middle.
First, it just cant happen. there are several steel belts.
second, by design, a tire's flexability is in the sidewall. not the tread.
What I trying to say is that your thought process is a little flawed.
Tires 'wear uot' by wearing against the road. by 'rubbing'. 36 or 40 will make no decernable difference in the life of the tire. BUT it will cost you mpg.
you really ought to review the vast number of posts on this topic.
