Just curious what folks think of this concept .....
A 'formula' for tire inflation can be found on many sports car sites.
Using my TJ and tires here as an example.
'04 TJ Sport .... equipped with BFG Mud Terrains on OEM rims.
32 x 11.5R - 15LT Load Range 'C' .... 2535lbs. max load @ 50 pounds pressure.
After weighing the front (1862lbs.) & rear (1892lbs.) axles on a BC Government certified truck scale ...
Each front tire would be carrying .... 1862lbs. divided by 2 = 931lbs.
931lbs. is 37% of the max load of 2535lbs.
37% of the 50 max pressure is 19 pounds pressure .....
Anyone running tires using this formula as a guide ?
Thoughts ....
Thanks Bird !
