There is lots more data - Bicycle Quarterly has published numerous articles on tire performance:
http://www.bikequarterly.com/BQ_subject_index.html The "sweet spots" are real – we did a statistical analysis to make sure it wasn't just noise in the data – but they also depend on the road surface. So unless you develop a system that allows you to change your tire pressure as you ride (and somehow determines what the optimum pressure is for the surface you are riding on), the take-home message is: "Don't stress about tire pressure."
