    What is the formula for psi on all different tire sizes? For example wheel size+tire size=34 psi? What is the correct formula? I wanted to see if anyone knows what it is so I don’t have to set a psi front and rear, test, add more or take out air, test, it’s too much work, I wanna get straight to the results with a proven formula, thanks.

    I don't think its going to be that easy. It depends on the load rating of the tires, as well as the weight they are expected to carry, and to a lesser degree, your expected ride quality. The closest thing I've heard of to get it right is the Chalk Test.

    Someone on here mentioned a chalk test that made a lot of sense. Wasn’t a formula though.
