So I guess someone DOES in fact run enough pressure that results in a significant difference of the contact patch.
I stand corrected, one person ran pressure that wasn't optimal for the conditions and altered that after noting a difference. Still, for the most part I don't think people round these parts don't drive safely. Just compare KE/braking distances and handling ability of someone who's going 55-65mph and getting passed by semis up to someone going 65-85mph on another car's rear end.
