Decades experience that OVERINFLATION ruins tires and promotes premature vehicle component wear plus exacerbates unsafe handing is the test of time.

As before,

(1) Two sets of tires run at recommended minimum per actual scaled values to cover nearly one quarter million miles. 50/50 Town & Country miles. Tires warranted to 80k miles. But that ran to 125k plus with well more than 4/32 remaining.

(2) This, with a four-ton pickup (3-ton ship weight) that also tows a four-ton travel trailer. With an average MPG of 21 or higher for all miles. Highway from 24-27 MPG on a regular basis. Hundreds of similar Dodge diesels over millions of miles on FUELLY averaging 30% less . My experience with other owners is the tendency that they will over-inflate. Where’s the benefit? They’re not seeing my tire mileage UNLESS they’re in commercial service, and next-to-none on FE.

(3). Despite checking pressures after highway runs of 2-hours or longer, higher than minimums aren’t needed. No value added by additional pressure, instead, worse handling & braking. More problems with road hazard damage.

Also, as before: Scale it. Use Tire manufacturer data inside vehicle manufacturers guidelines. Test for pressure rise. Those are necessary minimums for “proof” (versus overinflation by itself). The actual baseline.

And, wheres the ABBA testing? Proof?

The lesson is: Learn to drive. That’s the obvious failing.

Leave it stock, with factory or better quality tires, properly-inflated.

Drive as if tires will never again be available
