Tire pressure increase cold to hot - how does it affect tire wear?
We all know that we should check our tire pressure cold.
I have always wondered how much pressure is picked up due to driving. The main reason why I ask myself this question is because I seem to be wearing the center of the tire. I have gone through the 'donuts-of-death' RE-92s and a set of Blizzak WS-50s and both were center worn, signs of an overinflated tire.
Here are my results, please post yours in the following format:
Pressure cold: front/rear 30/30 PSI
Pressure hot: front/rear 35/35 PSI
Tire size: 225-50-17
Tyre type: High performance, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Driving style: aggressive
Wear pattern: center wear
TIA

Thanks for the info, I know that already.
According to the both the tire maker and the car maker my tire is underinflated at 30 PSI. Why, oh why, am I getting center tire wear.
Maybe you could fill out the info?
