Well, just hope you don't hit a pothole. Bicycle tires are certainly different, but the same "suggested max inflation" things still come into play, and I've seen too many tires explode in races to take the same chance out on the road. Besides, by darin's coast down test, there's not even much difference in the rolling resistance.

I understand your point about questioning traditional wisdom, but when things like safety are concerned it's best to know first, and act second. Wayne will be in a world of sadness when someone hyperinflates, has a blowout, and then blames him for his completely uneducated recommendations. Unless he's secretly and engineer and knows more than the rest of us.
