Default ride from SD to SJ, advice please

I'm going to ride from San Diego to San Jose....:\ Anyway what is the best tire pressure i should be at to get maximum mileage for the tire for this trip? I just got the M1's and I don't want to waste 500 miles of it on a ride, well I have to, but I want to minimize the tread wear down the middle. I heard that lower tire pressure allows longer wear? But i always thought it was the higher the pressure, the more miles you could get out of them. any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Tony

When I bought my bike, I had to travel 950 Km... well I really didn't have to, but I got a good price
At one point I even encountered snow !!! ( LOL ! 6 Km in walking speed ), and It took me 16 hours to get home
One thing that this has thought me : Don't underestimate the power of distance

Hi.
It is no so long distance. Here in Spain go from north to south
(to JEREZ track) to see GP 125/250/motoGP Gran Prix. It is
980 Km. far from here.The problem is the Police.(ok and you back) jajaja.
