Oh, wait...... I get it now.

Never mind.
I'm not arguing against science when I say higher pressures are fine. There hasn't been one piece of credible evidence posted that suggests over-inflating a tire can lead to the horrible things mentioned in this thread. Quoting tire information from a tire manufacturer is not science. I want to see the raw data.

You may choose to blindly accept factory recommendations, but I don't. Not when I have seen so many veteran members have success with over-inflation. As I have said many times already, I'll report my success and my failures.
