- What's the right way to figure out what tire pressure to use?
- The owner's manual gives suggestions, but those are for the
- stock tires, and most of us are running something different.
-
- Is it true that looking at the contact patch is the only way
- to be sure? If that is the case, then I guess I could jack
- up a wheel, roll something like ink onto the bottom of the
- tire, then lower it onto a flat surface to make an impression
- of the contact patch.
-
- Is there a more correct way?
