This shouldn't even be a debate on ecomodders. We have so many veteran members who have proven that over inflation does not cause uneven wear, when the tires are otherwise properly maintained.
It's easier to believe their claims because all the planets have to be aligned to not experience wear. Meaning proper tire maintenance was followed. It's not as easy to believe someone that says they experienced center tire wear from over inflation, because of all the variables involved that could have caused the wear. With that in mind, the overwhelming majority of ecomodders report success with over inflation.
Consulting tire manufacturers for information is interesting. I read somewhere that over inflating your tires can wear your suspension faster because of the increased stiffness. That's a very bold claim, considering all the variables that could contribute to suspension wear. For example, how fat are your friends, the road quality in your area, climate, driving style, etc. The information they put out isn't exactly science.
