 Increasing tyre pressures by 20% for economy??? - Lygonos
Oddly enough as the contact patch gets smaller, the speed at which you risk aquaplaning actually begins to rise.

Physics and tyres have a voodoo-like relationship with so many fudge (I mean confounding) factors as a result of the physical properties of rubber and tarmac under pressure/heat (not including tread patterns, etc).
