Looks like the question is still open to a degree.
I understand the theory of higher tire pressure vrs tube squirm but think that very hard tires can add shock to the airframe and gear on landing and will wear out the tire rapidly.
Higher pressure will also lower braking and steering ability.
Wet surface adhesion will also be reduced.
I think the manufacturers should address this saftey issue before someone is killed or injured.

Desser Tire now has an Aero Classic 8 ply 400-6 "Premium" that should last several more hours.
