Here’s a datapoint from my experience: 40 doesn’t wear the middle of the tread. I’ve pumped mine to 40 since original purchase and after seeing the threads in this forum. The only downside is SLIGHTLY, almost imperceptible for me, harsher ride. My wear is very even.Oilpan4 said:I'm trying to run 38psi in the new pair of Michelin energy saver all season tires and 42psi in the almost warn out ecopia tires.
The shoulder of the 2 original ecopia tires is about to hit the wear bars at 60,000 miles, so they won't have the chance to wear out in the middle.
I just don't want to run too much pressure and wear the middle of the tread down.
If you know 40 doesn't wear the middle of the tread I will run 40psi in new tires.
