I run my tires at the rated 51psi and noticed that the summer tires are a bit more worn in the middle. It's not wearing down as fast as I'd like it to though (I'm waiting for an excuse to purchase a set of low RRs)
The winter tires look OK, but they less milage.

To sum up this discussion:
- If your tires do not wear in the middle when run at max sidewall - it's worth it.
- If they do - it's still worth it.
- As fuel gets more expensive - it's even more worth it (fuel cost will rise faster than tire price).
