Re: Tire wear
Yes, you want to check them cold. It wont hurt to run a little higher PSI than what it says on the door. I spent many years in the tire industry, and have watched thousands upon thousands of tires wear under every imaginable condition. The manufacturer recommended PSI usually leans a little to the side of a soft ride. That is how the whole Ford Exploder/Firestone thing came to be. The biggest issue was they were only running 27 PSI in them.
In my experience I have found many times they wear better with a little more PSI. It can also give you a firmer, more controlled feeling, and may even improve MPG, albeit to a small degree.
Just my $.02 based on what I have seen first hand. YMMV.
