Seadog....upon close inspection, I do have some flattening similar to you. Not as pronounced, but I can feel it. You're not alone!

More pressure straightened out the 250 Dunlop on my nine so I am going up a couple of pounds at a time. I have 43 in it right now and am going for about 2000 miles per test to see if anything looks better. If it starts to improve I will go to 45 pound on the next 2000 mile test.
Previous Statement still applys

Its totally up to you but I have stated in the past that if I get a nail or a screw in the tire I will plug it long enough to get to a place to replace that tire immediately. You only have one life and two tires keeping that life safe, I agree with anyone that says to replace that tire as soon as you can. Your life is worth more than the money spent on a new tire. JMHO
