I beg to differ, Sir. In order to extract the best performance from these max performance low profile tires, the correct pressure is very important. Unless you want to buy a new set every few K miles. My tires list a max of 50lbs. so I have been running them at 48 for three years now and they don't show any adverse signs of wear.
