The one that runs at higher pressure, every single time. This has held true over millions of road miles of testing, in every kind of environment and on every type of vehicle it has been tried on. You certainly have the freedom to believe regurgitated rhetoric but for my money I go where the actual testing has been done.

I had a 2005 Tacoma with factory 20's on it and went through 2 sets of tires in the 3 years I had it. The 1st set of tires had massive center tread wear problems, and yes they were radial tires. So yes its still an issue. I was running about 5 psi over the recommeded psi and the dealer told me that was the reason why. The 2nd set of tires I ran at or below the recommeded psi and I didnt have the center wear problem. Also the 2nd set of tires lasted about 20,000 miles longer than the 1st set. Both sets were the same brand. So theres some actual real world examples. None of this "testing" crap.
