That is what I thought for a long time, and it may be true, but 2 friends of mine who are tire engineers at Michelin tell me that inflation pressure has almost no effect on revolutions per mile ... the belt lenght doesn't change and thus the pressure affects flexing, sidewall height, but not effective circumference. That said, the revolution per mile numbers on manufacturers' websites always give a pressure ... I don't know.
