Don't know if you hi-tech professionals will respond to this - but my interest is at the other end of the spectrum.
would like to know of low cost equipment ( perhaps using optic fibers ) that would allow us to get temperatures across a tire ( while it is racing on a track ) say 5 to 6 points...
Greg your right - to a degree. however that support does not come without deflection
so really the empirical solution [ for a given tire and load ] is to measure surface to rim with a caliper, or whatever, then reduce the pressure in increments and remeasure. BUT be sure you have a supply of...
most likely the graph is not findable - but if you want to start one:
1. the tire "foot print" is calculated by taking the tire presure and its load. the footprint is equal to the load in pounds divided by the pressure in psi this gives you sq inches of foot print - except for some...
