There is a formula for determining the proper inflation pressure for your ride.
What is the formula? (I have not heard this before).

I dont know any formula for determining correct tyre pressure but i do no that the difference in pressure between a cold tyre and a hot tyre should be around 4 psi
most of the heat generated in a tyre is by sidewall flexing as the heat rises then the pressure in the tyre rises
so more than 4 psi higher on a hot tyre = too much flexing so cold pressure is too low
less than 4 psi higher on hot pressure no sidewall flexing cold pressure to high
Hope this helps

Used to be 10 per cent if tire was suppose to be say 30 psi when hot it would read 10 per cent higher, always check them cold and use manufacturers pressures

Easy look in your owner manual any thing else in risky.
