I don't doubt that you're telling the truth about your own personal experience, but you can't ignore the data gathered by a large membership at CleanMPG for example where no one has had any issues caused from inflating tires to max sidewall or even a little above and the thing is NO ONE paid for this testing. This testing is all done by normal people like you and I and Bailout who have nothing to gain by lying about results. They're only trying to help people be less wasteful of resources and save money with safe practices which are only questioned by the industries which directly benefit from you wasting these same resources.
It's great to have a strong opinion on things, but you can't close the door to so many other peoples experiences or "testing". I'm glad I didn't. I've learned a great deal from Bailout and others like him in the different online communities. To the point where the performance I am getting out of our car is not believed by people who are still pre-believers like I once was.
