ill be going back to 32psi

You're obviuosly not "enjoying" the corners enough.
I keep mine at 36 cold to increase sidewall stiffness (for cornering), and decrease wind movement.
If you corner harder, the outer edges will wear the same as the centre.
Each to his or her own, however. I set my car the way I like it, and fully hope everyone else does the same (i.e. how THEY like it, not how their friends tell them it should be)

I doubt that any of the belligerents here will ever agree on this issue, or more importantly convince the other side. I recognize that both sides only want what is best for us fellow yaris drivers and want to share their info and educated opinions on the topic. But at the point where it shifts from a positive sharing of information and opinions to a negative, mudslinging argument (from whichever side it may be...) I second the solution of "to each his own."

On a side note, I personally keep my OEM tires at or around 44 psi. As weird as it is, I prefer the comfort of 44 as opposed to 32, and that is why I keep it there. I have not noticed any uneven or untimely wear on my tires, although as someone mentioned previously, I am not measuring the wear scientifically. I have noticed a significant change/decrease in fuel economy the times my tires have been around 32psi, so I also second Bailout. (And that is my contribution to forming any kind of unscientific consensus.)

Seems like the police is on the side of having the tire wall max rating rather than the door jamb rating.

A good read.
