the thing is that it is really hard to find real data with a margin of error smaller than what the results would show. things like tread weight and tread wear are always kind of changing. a wider tire will usually be stickier per any given tread wear rating because that should make the contact patch shorter front to back. what that means is that the tire can cool off more quickly so it would last longer. i dont really get it all but i think that tires have been designed to have air pressure be the primary factor at normal situations. as you go up or down in pressure i think that the other variables come in to play
