Discussions on tire maintenance often turn to proper inflation maintenance as the most important cornerstone of a well-designed program to maximize tire treadlife, casing durability and fuel economy. However, precious little information is available on exactly what should be controlled to achieve this pressurized condition inside the tire/wheel contained inflation cavity. Since nearly all medium
