I'm running 36psi all around and am pleased with the even wear on my Bridgestone Dueler HP tires. The tires are wearing evenly. The 315/20 run flats in the rear are looking really good after about 12K miles. I would think at a higher inflation it would stiffen the inner sidewall and exaggerate the wear? Without asking my tire installer filled the tires with nitrogen. I believe nitrogen results in less thermal variations than air.
