the person asking about my tire pressure. normally I run 35psi in them but the max on the sidewall is 44psi. i run 35psi because at 44psi I'm worried that i'll wear out the center of the tire because of overinflation.


Don't be worried... at the proper load rating, the tires will have the right flex and contact with the road. I Always up my tire pressure when hauling anything substantial (better that than overheat the sides with excessive flex ~ the bulging you see ~ and cause weakness there that has been linked to blowouts).

I haven't checked lately, but my tires rarely have even 1/32rd of difference between inside, center and outside for tread depths (running at a range of pressures depending on the task at hand).
