    Actually, if they say 44 PSI I run about 42 PSI.
    Helps with MPG, but it is rough if you have to run on crappy PA roads.

    Never had issues with center wear.
    Its always with the out or inner edges, tye rods or balljoints.

      Mine (155/80-12) hold 44 PSI max and that's what I run in them.

      Tire wear, so far is normal.

      The ride is a little stiff, but gas mileage is excellent.

          I run mine at 40psi with no issues. I remember reading on one of the hyper-miler sites that one of the reasons most sidewalls spec 36psi is due to NHV - Noise/Harshness/Vibration. A tire with higher pressure will exhibit more of this and the general public will sacrifice a few mpg's for comfort.
