      Arlen Holder:              So 725,000 sq mm approximates 1,224 sq in. internal area of your example tire.              If a particular vehicle requires 32psi cold air pressure in that tire, that       equates to 32 * 1,224sq. in = 39,168 total       pounds of air pressure against the interior wall of that tire! Wow!              If we increase that 32psi figure by 10%, that's 35.2psi.              35.2 x 1,224 = 39,564 total pounds of pressure against the wall of that same       tire. An increase of only 1.01% in the total pressure against it.              So much for my theory that each additional pound of air pressure exponentiates       the total pressure imposed on       the inside of that tire.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
