    This just doesn't make much sense to me. Is there a more optimal setting that won't ruin tread life?

    Could you elaborate more on what doesn't make sense?

    'Best' tire pressure is a compromise between numerous competing goals. You may weight those goals differently than the manufacturer or other drivers, and thus may wish to select a different compromise point.
