Hmmm he recommends upping tyre pressure to the max on the sidewall. I suspect his views may be a little misguided. My sidewall max is 50psi IIRC, at about 35 it starts to seriously affect grip and wear the tyre unevenly. I really do question some peoples brainpower.

But they don't have corners in the US to need to worry about grip.

If they're are doing that then wouldn't they be better off just putting narrower tyres on to start with?
