Silly question? Does running higher PSI cause more wear-and-tear on suspension? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I keep my Firestone FR710s at 38 psi (after trying quite a few different levels). I like the firm ride, yet they don't feel like 'bricks' unless closer (than 38) to the max 44 PSI stated on the tire. I just put a second set of 4 on and I got 85,009 miles out of the first set of 4 and could have squeezed more. The wear (at 85,009 miles) was virtually the same for each tire. I was good about rotating them, but I wouldn't say I was religious about it.
