Not to mention if a tire calls for 40 psi based on the load being carried and it's at 40 psi it's 100% inflated, even if the tire can hold 80 psi. Putting 80 psi in a tire when it needs 40 to do it's job is 200% inflated. 50% inflation would be 20 psi, who said run that??
Overinflated is NEVER recommended, except by you.
Uhm...no. Apparently you do not understand what inflation, psi, and tire inflation ratings are. You think a tire inflated to its max inflation psi, per the sidewall PRINTED ON THE TIRE is overinflated? Or "200% Inflated" :S
Wow. Here, let's try some pictures.
Tires have ratings. Vehicles do not have any magic sensors that read the tire ratings when you install upgraded or different tires.
You can ask Firestone what happens when tires are chronically underinflated- which means IGNORING the tire manufacturers' load and inflation ratings PRINTED DIRECTLY ONTO EVERY SINGLE TIRE THEY PRODUCE.
