I don't mean to offend, but it seems that the data you're providing is being bent to your purpose. Even on that page that you linked there is a note at the bottom that says the paper is a dissapointment. I'm an engineer. I could go and submit a paper to SAE showing opposite results, it doens't make me right. I'm just worried that some people in this community are warping their "facts" to justify things that they do. Sure, overinflate your tires, but don't expect better performance out of them. lower RR is due to lower friction. Friction is the stuff that makes you turn and stop.
