Not all questions have a simple answer - or even any answer in some cases - and tyre performance appears to be one of them.
Tyre engineering isn't the only area to suffer from complications that go beyond the understanding of ordinary mortals that don't have the benefit of forty years experience. Richard Feynman was famously asked on a radio programme to explain how a permanent magnet works - he refused point blank. The more you know, the more you know you don't?
Meanwhile, I will be keeping the Longstone tyres on my Ruby pumped up to the recommended 26 psi - and enjoying the extra mph or two this might give me.
