How would that be affected if one were using 3 or even 4 different tires on their vehicle? You'd need a garage vehicle map with inputs to all four corners for all those specs, in that case.

I've been running the van at 40, except when it got down way low previously, because I'd forgotten to check them.

Also, I don't buy new tires. I buy them from the junkyard, usually in sets, if I can find them. I never replace my tires until they're worn out, as well. I've actually taken the energy to put a tire back on that had 2/32 of wear left, so I could burn it down. I hate it when I see perfectly good tires sitting on junk piles.

When one of my tires goes down too low, I replace that one, not the other three. I've been running cupped rear tires the whole time I've had the van, except when I had the 17's on it.
