FWIW, in heavy transport, tyre pressures are vital in ensuring tyre life, a
tyre than underinflated
by as little as 10% can and does have its life shortened by as much as 95%,
due to excessive flexing
of the side walls causing overheating and delamination, which generally
results in total and complete
failure with little to no warning. No doubt some of you would have seen a
truck tyre explode on the
freeway for no apparent reason
