    I specifically asked for

    43 psi front
    42 psi rear

    Tire installer comes up to me and warned me of the high pressure.

    He emphasized the higher risks of the tires blowing out and voiding the warranty with the high psi.
    :confused::eek::censored:

    Higher MPG!!!!
    :D(y):D

    I went ahead and lowered my psi.

    Tire installer mentioned that one of my tires was wearing out faster at the center.

    Probably because of the high psi I was using.

    Some experts say that the tires are wearing out from the edges, not at the center if you're running too high pressure. Old type tires (I don't know the word in English) used to wear from the center with too high pressure.
