[QUOTE="zukkev, post: 1532863, member: 17121"] Welp, I will disagree as to the wear being negligible in the center of an over-inflated tire for a given load/vehicle/use...If the contact patch is decreased, the now narrower contact patch will have increased contact pressure, causing the increased wear in the center of the tread. A tire does not have to get hot to wear, the heat kills the base structure of the tire, not the tread persay... I have replaced COUNTLESS tires before their time on vehicles due to over/under inflation, some with as much as 7/32 on the outer edges of the tread while the center 2" section is literally bald...tires with a max rating of 80 psi, while on a rig that the pressures were set at 65--- BUT to each their own...
