The Science of Tire Pressure v3

No permission to download
Made sure i picked the right Grenadier tires.
Re-did the calculations for larger tire volumes = lower tire pressures needed.

Also, redid some sidewall calculations to ensure that speed and lower pressure is compatible with side wall structures leading to an minimum speed floor for PSI.

Updated all tables with ambient temperature corrections.
Cheat sheets in Imperial (PSI / lbs) EU (Bar / Kg) and SI (kPa / Kg)

reformatted the sheet so its a bit easier to read.
updated the example to use the grenadiers tire with the correct load rating.
I had a bug. The stock ineos KO2 tire can be purchased in two different load ratings. i picked the wrong load rating for the table. this has now been corrected, and the heavier tire has been selected.

I made an additional table highlighting which load rating and construction type each tire has. Because of the stiffer sidewall the calculations across the board had to be redone for those tires.

Made the final table in cm and Bar. Updated the formula to show PSI as well as Bar.

Updated the doc to include a section on 17" vs 18" rims. Also added a section with a K02 tire that has lower load bearing capability, and how that affects PSI and driving environment.
