Correct answer
the suspension is subjected to greater strain from road irregularities.
Pressure above the recommended value reduces the contact patch and grip, promotes wear at the centre of the tread and places greater strain on the suspension over road irregularities. Excessive shoulder or edge wear is associated with insufficient pressure instead. Maintain the manufacturer’s specified pressure for the relevant load.
