Well, he uses space savers.

Those are designed for higher pressures (60 PSI is normal) and have a rounded shoulder, so they will keep flexing a bit even run at extreme pressure and the thread with will get even smaller at those pressures.

I would be very surprised if it affects braking distance more than a bit, as long as you don't lock wheels. If you do they may blow!
Cornering should be better - hardly any side roll and shoulder deformation.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
