welcome.
Please read the many threads posted. they seem to disagree w/ your experience.
1. please dwfine 'excessive increase in presure'.
I have run 4 sets of Kuhmos 245/50/18 at 44psi on an Infiniti Q45 (please read threads for furthur detail.....am not going to repeat facts already stated).
never experienced "faster wear'.
question: how can increasing psi make it wear faster?
how can a 'steel belted' tire be cause to expand to cause balding?
2. as stated in many posts handling and mpg increase with 40 psi. (please read threads linked above for documentation)
3. at ecomodder we like to prove things as opposed to personal feelings or experience. Not that we dont welcome other thoughts and ideas, but it is fruitless to try to have a discussion over feelings. Much more productive to discuss tested results (good or bad)
