After a life of aircraft engineering, I am aware of the amount of time and money bike manufacturers put into determining what the correct tyre pressure should be.
Like everything there are tolerances, and they will take into account the effects of heat and altitudes, and even different road surfaces, to come up with something that we can all measure at a standard reference point, cold tyres.
I accept that on a track, a racing team will know the given temperatures and the track surface so may optimise those pressures, but on the road? Does anyone really ride in the same temperatures on the same road surface and at the same speeds all of the time?
I'll just stick to the standard pressures and the standard, very sticky, Rosso 3 tyres that our bikes came with.
