Your tires are inflated properly when there is a maximum of 10% pressure gain from dead cold to "hot" (ten minutes or more at highway speed with whatever max load you carry). Get a digital gauge and a notebook and start checking, and don't forget the pressure is proportional to outside air temperature so your equation will be different at different seasons. And never go over the maximum cold inflation pressure listed on the tire sidewall. Tom Bowman A14"Stella"> determine the correct inflation pressures. > > -- Marc, A12
