RE: Anti Sway Bars 101 (LXi and LX)
Neat formula. Thank you.

So if you start off with 130 psi on a cool morning 4.5 C.(Canadian Eh!) 40F =277 K


Head south a bit..80 F day = 300K plus 50F for friction etc(tires now at 130F = 328K )

so 328/277 x 130 = 154.. Bloody hard !

And if owners don't check tires.......and continue south... to your 100F day

then:
340/277 x 130 = 160 psi That is simply crazy and unsafe.

Fortunately, NHTSA finally demanded that Bluebird replace the fronts to the 365' tire. Now with the 365.... starting off at 110:

340/277 x 110 = 135 which is hard but OK.
