Apparently it might be useful to know something of the design of the tire's steel belts in order to know whether the center will life and wear unevenly when inflated above sidewall recommendations. It seems from everyone's stated experiences that not all tires are the same in this respect. So maybe design makes the difference...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
