What are the benefits of running my BMX bike on high psi tires?

Tires that run high pressures are less likely to puncture through impact and will have a lower rolling resistance. The price of this is a bumpier ride, less float on soft/sandy surface and maybe slightly less traction on some surfaces.

Is there an insurance issue with two different high quality brands of mc tires front to rear?
There shouldn't be, as long as the tires are the proper size for the bike
What is the value of 1984 Honda CB900 custom motorcycle?
Naturally, it all depends, but let's assume the following: Best case, low miles, bike runs well, some wear and tear, brakes & tires good exhaust good then roughly 1500. Bike runs, brakes ok, tires worn, exhaust rusted, then 1200. Bike barely runs (with choke) needs tires, brakes ok, exhaust rusted, then 1000. Bike not running, needs tires, needs exhaust, brakes not working but gas tank is ok (not rusted, not leaking) then 2-300 if low miles, if high miles (>50k) forget it. Worst case, not running, seat dry rotted, brakes not working, tires cracked, exhaust rusted, only good for parts, 50.00
How do bike tires differ for different events?
For riding on hard, smooth surfaces narrow smooth high pressure tires are used. For riding on soft, uneven surfaces wide knobbly low pressure tires are used. For conditions in between tires in between are used.
What are the benefits of low profile tires?
One of the biggest benefits of low profile tires is that there is better braking but those seeking a comfortable ride will want to stick with what the manufacturer recommends. The visual worth of low profile tires can outweigh functionality but areas with high curbs or snow will be more troublesome to navigate through.
Are there different types of off-road bike tires?
Kinda-sorta, but it'd depend on how finicky you are, and what bike you're talking about. A "real" road bike will often be built only to take narrow, high-pressure road tires, so a wider, softer terrain tire just won't fit in the frame/fork. But if your bike has enough room for wider tires, then there are "terrain" tires available for most of the wheel sizes used today. The biggest selection is in the 26" AKA 559 mm ETRTO and the 28" AKA 700C AKA 622 mm ETRTO sizes, where you can find tires for just about any terrain. Spiked/studded winter tires, tires for gravel/hardpack, mud tires, and so on.
Why do tires wear out in the center before the outside?
If that happens, you are running them at too high of a pressure. Consult the pressure recommendations printed on the sidewall.
How come tires got so worn out?
You tires are worn out because either the car needs an alignment, you are running them with either too low or too high air pressure, suspension parts are worn, steering parts are worn, or the tires were defective.
Is cooper tires a cheap tire?

Riding a bike up a hill is comparable to which type of process?

What are the benefits of hydrogen filled tires compaired to normal air?

What benefits does cross training yield?
Cross training is good for your body and can be very intensive. It is not as effective as running, however, the same benefits can be yielded if it is done at high intensity and over a sustained period of time (e.g. cross-training for one hour equates to roughly the same benefits as running 5 miles).
Off and on vibration at high speed tires are fine so are the brakes and rotors?
Are rims bent, check body bushings or check engine with scanner for variations in running
