there are tires with lousy treadwear but phenomenal grip, which actually is usually the case. The softer the compound, the grippier they are.
As for the amount of air pressure I use, this is based on reviews from what I read on TireRack about these tires. I've only had them on the car for 500 miles, and immediately inflated them to these specs when I had them installed. I haven't tried them with a lesser amount. For all I know, they might be okay with a near-norm amount of air. Most of the reviews were from non-Saab drivers, so the handling characteristics of each manufacturer is different. Less just might be best with these Conti's. I will have to try it out and see.
But according to the test results and specs on these tires, they seem to be excellent performers in all areas. As I explained, I needed an all-season ultra-peformance tire. Granted, no tire can do everything, but these seem to excel where others fail. Time will tell...
Joe
