There is no reason why a good quality tire would wear uneven under normal conditions and pressure that does not overexceed the max pressure by a wide margin.

Without proof you will convince the public of the opposite of your claims.
I will go out right now and add a couple of PSI to my tires.

[edit] 3 out of 4 had sagged a few PSI below what I put in before... so thanks for making me do this!

One tip though for anyone raising their tire pressure; take small steps at a time. And when you use your own small electric pump, wait between pumping each tire. The compressor gets quite hot and could easily burn the hose or melt the plastic housing, esp. when you go over 40something PSI.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
