Have an idea for an array of sensors (capacitance perhaps) that you drive your tire on and it senses the pressure across your tires contact patch and will tell if you need more or less pressure to maximize your contact patch.

Have no idea if something like that already exists.

Of course it would interface with an Arduino to process the sensor readings and give you some sort of indication.

The good part is that you can fill the air in your tires until the real time readings are maximized.

I don't know much about tires but it seems like a logical approach to getting the inflation right.

The software could also account for tire temperature and other factors.

Seems like an interesting experiment to try out.
