I asked the guy who performed my alignment recently about tire
pressures. He said that while the manufacturer's ratings were usually
geared more towards overall comfort than anything else, including even
tire wear. He suggested 3-4 lbs above the car's recommended value as a
good starting point for even tire wear.
