Actually, the inverse is true about braking and cornering since there is no tire sag to deal with. The higher pressure offers much better handling, not worse. Try it for yourself.

You have a valid point about insurance companies because they are generally uneducated about such matters. I do not bow to a lack of education... I educate the uneducated.
