In this case overinflation, would cause them to wear in the center of the tread much more than on the outsides, right ????

Oh, and Rotary Nut, so far they ride great. The sidewall feels a little softer than the RE040s, so they absorb the bumps and potholes a lot better, but the still feel great in the corners so far. It's been snowy/rainy/damp/wet here for the last several days, so I really haven't gotten to test their dry grip (I'm generally a cautious driver, especially in wet/damp/snow...) Once the warmer temps of Spring get here, I'll be able to better judge the summer handling/traction. I'm still keeping my mind open to the possibility at that time of getting new rims with dedicated summer tires, if necessary. Kinda the flip of the usual trend. If I'm gonna lay out the cash for new rims, I'm gonna get better ones than the stock, so I couldn't swallow buying new rims for winter.
Anyways, that's my view on the subject. I'm sure others have different views, that's what makes the world go 'round. :D
