Watch Tire Inflation and Pressure Variations
A study by Dr. Walter M. Carleton of Michigan State College shows tire pressure needs careful management to extend life. Tests at 70 degrees F reveal a 9 psi variation for 6.00 x16 tires and 16 psi variation for liquid filled 11x28 tires as temperature rises from 0 to 110 degrees F. Air filled 11x28 tires vary less than liquid filled ones.
