On short/wide tires it's very effective.alaska teardrop wrote:
Though Jim has put me on his FOE list (but that is his loss)....
The tire temperature method (side/middle/side) is what we use to measure proper inflation pressure on our race car tires.... Also works on street tires... As little as 1/2 psi will change how tire heat is distributed... On the autocross course we always adjust tire pressures between laps, but for us its all about tire patch and traction....

I thought I had successfully erased dale from my life by putting him on my Foe List...but alas he keeps on repeating like too many beans ingested too fast. How vain/conceited does one have to be to think that my life is lacking because I have removed him from it. HAhahahaha I was enjoying seeing that he had posted insults towards me because I disagreed with him, without actually having to read that insult, and him knowing he was flogging someone who could not defend them self against his garbage.
He just doesn't get it. I don't value his opinion, just like he is trying to liken my teardrop to a race car that needs my tire pressure adjusted every 2-3 miles dependent on 3 temperature readings taken on both tires every 3 minutes. I mean seriously how many teardrop owners in here are using a pyrometer every few miles to check their tires to see if they should increase or decrease their psi by "1/2 pound?"
Some people like to carry things to the extreme. READ MY LIPS...I am running 50psi according to what the experts recommend regardless of your opinion. Please, please, please add me to your Foe List and stop the harassment.
But perhaps others do value what I have to say..... I'm here to help any who want it and to learn, not to bedevil you. You are a party of one in your opinion and that's your choice.... Now its time for you to let it be and if what I say offends you just ignore it and walk away.... Others don't seem to mind, at least I have not been blocked by Admin or been told to go away by other users.... It's your problem, not the boards.... But I will not block you, by chance there will be a moment when realization sets in that information you steadfastly maintain is correct is finally realized as wrong.... But you will probably never admit it...
And my reference to tire inflation of a race car is not in any way directed at you or your tire inflation concepts... That is your ASSUMPTION, it was my intention to reinforce other opinions that tire wear is directly related to tire pressure.... You have to high a opinion of your self and you seem to think ever thing is about you.... Well its not... You are not that important to me at all.... Get over it!...
And I don't think other are buying in to your concept that I am here specifically to harass you....
Admin it's either time to lock this thread or to tell the gentleman to stand down...
