Hi Larsb:
___You are making statements that do not hold true in the real world in the least. Burst pressures as stated above are in the neighborhood of 100 - 125 #’s. You will never reach that unless your car was on fire. Guess what the Insight’ers Bridgestone RE92’s and HCH’s Bridgestone B381’s (many HCH’s include these as OEM stock) MAX sidewall state? 44 #’s as most any other tires do. Do you know how many millions of miles have been driven in Insight’s with the RE92’s and HCH’s B381’s at 50 + #’s? Just to let you know, there are quite a few Insight’s and HCH’s in the desert southwest besides your own.
___You can run whatever pressures you want but you will never reach the FE that your automobile is capable of by running at the std. as listed inside your front door or by running max sidewall of 44 #’s. Which you decide to choose is up to you but bringing up the safety card when you are tooling down the road with 2 children at 70 + miles per hour is far more dangerous imho.
___Good Luck
