I agree with you except having too much air in tires, esp. in a pick-up, one needs all the patch pressure traction & grip possible to avoid looking like a retard on ice skates when things get hairy.
A few pounds under rec. can keep from wrecking.
MPG don't mean a thing wrapped around a tree.
I've also found buying the best tires you can find & keeping them fresh & a little under inflated is not only safer but cheaper.
I have 224,000 miles on a 93' dodge dynasty with the original ball joints, tie rods, etc.
The fresh soft tires have taken all the shock load not the car, my spine is ever thankful too.
My experimental emphasis has always been on comfort, safety & longevity.
Not what I said. I said, "tires inflated near max".

I'm in Southern California. No need to worry about snow, unless I decide to go up and play in it. Oh, and my F-150 is 4x.
Thanks.
