You can get into recurring springs as well. Or just move a battery or some of the other loads.

I have had all this explained this way: Since most roads/highways have a slight "crown" for water drainage etc more of the load is carried by the inner dual tire. Therefore by increasing the air pressure by 4 lbs on the outer tire it increases it's diameter very slightly causing it to carry a more equal amount of the load.
This should equalize the tread scuffing in turns also.
Now this is all big rig stuff but I'm sure will apply to dualies also.
