Yeah, great, put more air in the tires, haha, but you end up paying in the end because of tire damage.
And president dumbass probably thinks that worn out tires are OK, as long as we use less gas. No petroleum used in tire production I guess.
Standard recommended tire pressure in the United States is on the low side due to our preference for a smoother ride. Tires can typically be inflated at least 10 psi above manufacturer recommendation without abnormal wear or other adverse effects, and it does reduce rolling resistance, thereby increasing gas mileage. Going higher than that does start getting into the problem territory you describe.
