Like I have said before, I have seen a report posted here from 1980, regarding the issue and just read alot of speculation.
My fact remains that I currently have new tires on my vehicle that have been overinflated since day one. 55psi to be exact. 30K miles later, it has exceeded the life of the previous set and still look new.
I have seen and experienced better dry road and wet weather handling and I drive in a brutal enviroment, all highway with road surface temperatures exceeding 130 degrees F.
Other than a rougher ride I wish I had done this sooner.
I think we need to just acknowledge that there is a benefit to practicing this with no long term data to support danger to occupants or vehicle and say it is not encouraged so practice at your own risk. Because there will be no one that can step up to answer the question directly since no testing is done with tires at these pressures.
