Because Neil posted it. But honestly, good PR copy has to be understandable to a wider audience. Even though this is PR copy, it answers some of the questions you've been asking.

Perhaps the "higher pressure" part should be further explained, as that part is definitely written poorly. I believe it is meant to suggest the tires can accomodate higher pressures than regular tires safely.

It's a Bridgestone press release. If they quote numbers, then those numbers will have come from internal testing. Whether they're completely BS numbers, fudged cherry-picked statistics or an honest-to-goodness comparison between the large and narrow tire and a control tire with the same compound and tread pattern, only Bridgestone know.
