I find that "overinflation wear" results in a lot longer wear than the underinflation they sometimes recommend on the doorposts.

For some reason, I'm happier with an overloaded axle than overloaded tires, but I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm thinking that tires are more likely than axles to fail suddenly, or maybe I'm thinking that there are so many assumptions on the inside of the axle calculations that rubber calculations provide an extra cushion.
