But of course some people still promote the use of higher than recommended pressures. Those people must believe that the whole professions of engineering and of automobile design is a false science. But then so would be all higher education.....
Oh, wait...... I get it now.
Never mind.

And how many multi-million dollar class action suits have been filed over over-inflation as opposed to under-inflation?
All safety studies have pointed to underinflation being dangerous.
All high-speed failure studies show increased chances of failure at lower pressures.
All hydroplaning tests show increased chances of hydroplaning at lower pressures.
The only data that suggests over-inflation is dangerous is one done by the NHTSA that shows increased bruising. But that was decades ago.

If you've actually been paying
any attention to the arguments instead of raising your
own strawmen to shoot down, none of us are saying anything like that.
We are simply pointing out that automotive design is a compromise. It's much cheaper to design your suspension around softer tire pressures than around higher tire pressures.
At this point, you are simply debating with an opponent who doesn't exist.

I suggest you read CapriRacer's post to understand what's wrong with the sidewall pressure. Unless you can explain why it's exactly the same for many disparate tire models and brands, you still don't comprehend what those numbers really mean.
