I'm back on stock wheels/tires. Yesterday, I just pumped my front tires to 42 psi, rear tires to 48 PSI. So far, there hasn't been any big changes in handling. Braking distance didn't increase by much, about 5 to 10 ft difference. I don't feel like there's any safety concerns so I guess I'll keep the setting. I'm somehow starting to believe that it's the way you drive that determines safety rather than car settings. As long as the car handles well around the 65-70 mph mark, then I shouldn't have any problems at all.

I can't comment on MPG nor tire wear because I have 2 sets of tires/wheels that I frequently change.
