Not true. I can tell you from personal experience the pressure listed on the driver's door IS NOT the optimum pressure. I have found that running your tires at about 5 psi over the recommended pressure increases tread life, improves handling (stiffer sidewalls), reduces tire noise, and improves fuel economy. The only thing that's better at the recommended pressure is the ride, and even then, only somewhat better. Some people run their tires at the max pressure listed on the tire's sidewall, however I've found door pressure +5 is usually the best compromise between getting all the other bennies and a smooth ride.
