Ha I love being topical .. Scratch your head at this one. While at lunch today I walk past an Expedition and it had it's front tires turned out. Wha caught my attention was that the center tread was worn almost smooth, but you could tell their was tread there at one time, yet the tire looked flat.

So what did I do, I ran back to my car and grabbed my mechanical gauge and measured their tire pressure. Figuring, if this is what everyone is talking about let me use an innocent by stander to prove a point. Well DS tire PSI = 22, PS PSI = 20, both tires were worn in the center third of the wheel.

So WTF? I doubt this truck spent its life @ 70 psi then reduced pressure to even out the wear .. LOL
