The door sticker says 29psi, where I've been running 40 psi consistently
for a very long time.

Rotating your tires does not reduce the wear - it
just distributes it.

This is a good distinction that the wear will happen no matter what, but,
by distributing it among the 4 tires, the tires should last longer, don't
you think?

A bit more air in the tire will keep it from
squirming/leaning/feathering. So will using a tire better suited to
your bob-sled-run twisty downhill roads.

These tires are the stock size and load rating. The only thing different is
that I'm running 40 psi instead of 29 psi.

Damned engineers - - -

I'm an electrical engineer - but this has nothing to do with that.

Maybe it does in the sense that you want things down to the gnat's
ass.
Good enough for what it's for is a common measure in my world. I've
changed a few tires over the years and never had a torque wrench. None
has ever fallen off or the rim wallowed out.
There was a time when someone changing a flat was a common sight.
Tires would last about 20,000 miles.
