I have read that some pro drivers run as high as 65-75 psi in the rear. What benifit is that?

less of the tire is touching the ground because it expands like a bubble. less contact surface = less traction

But it also makes the tire pop easier, cause less of the tire is touching the ground, cause uneven wear.
