close, but not needed. Your on the right track though. It's a new car remember, so it's just about perfect from the dealership.

You're assuming that all new cars have the same tire pressures... I think you've gotta measure the amout of the tire that touches the road then multiply that by the tire pressure or something... oh hell, I dont remember. It's something like that. Maybe that works... so if the footprint is 4", and the PSI is like 40 which is stupid, that tire would be holding up 160 pounds, and you've gotta do it for each tire.

If it takes that much work, why would you come to my house and bug me with this friggin problem?

Tires _SHOULD NOT_ be at the PSI rating on the sidewall. That rating is the max rating, not the desired rating. The Firestone tires on the Ford Explorer that had the problems had a rating of 40-44PSI, which is standard, Firestone recommended 33PSI, Ford ran them at 27PSI. Neither is anywhere near the rating on the sidewall.

My answer is infinitely better than the "answer"

Exactly. Reading the Maximum tire pressure from the tire won't tell you what the tire pressure really is. And if you bought the car from a place that filled the tires to what the tires said, then you are in trouble. That's why you need the pressure gauge to figure out what the tire pressure really is....
