Why not? It's not a significant decrease and it works. It's 3 years for me at 29psi on the same set of Kumhos.




You are now being too careful and walking in eggshells [emoji16] Analysis paralysis..

Of course the tyre sizes can be played with within reasonable safety considerations.



For me, less tyre pressures have worked, and I can say long term.

One case is anecdotal. Glad you achieved what you wanted but your results cannot be assumed to be universal.

Nevertheless, if tires are under inflated the contact patch becomes smaller negatively impacting handling, traction on wet or slippery roads and braking distance. I see no reason to accept any increased risk when it comes to being as safe as possible when driving especially when there are other options to address the problem that don't increase the risk.
