Are you F-ing serious? Sure, engineers do all that engineering and testing then rate tires just to F- with people who think engineers actually roll dice or pull numbers out of a hat to determine safety factors, limitations, and maximum inflation ratings. |

For the best discussion of tire pressure, one must read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". |

Of course one must always make exceptions when road testing special tires.

I have a barometric I2C sensor that is accurate to one foot (STH01002S) per LSB. Never thought of that though. |

The engineering unit of "smidgen" requires the most sophisticated laboratory equipment combined with a good imagination to measure, and you are actually talking about only a wee bit of a hair of one smidgen. ![]() Edited by myredvert, Aug 8 2015, 04:14 PM.

yes and the amount of air that fills the valve to engage the guage will also make a much bigger difference then the 9" difference in alttitude 6 oclock to 12 oclock |

And as I think about it, the air inside the tire is also affected by gravity, making it also denser at the bottom at the same rate as the atmosphere, so leaving the gauge on and rotating the tire should have no effect. |

It's not nine inches, it's six hours. |
