Chalk Test
 
Hey guys! I was just wondering if the 'Chalk Test' is the most accurate way for getting the proper tire pressure? I've read other post where people claim doing the math with gvw, max pressure...so on, so on is another route.

Chalk test works in my opinion different jeeps different weight.

I'm about to find out.
I have seen many a post recommending the chalk test, but have no experience with it.

It's a nice day, so I'm off to the parking lot with the Jeep, some chalk, and a camera.

ronjenx let me know what you find out! gunbo75 thanks for the reply! wish it wasn't raining here in chicago but I'll take it over snow!!!

Oh, well. The chalk I have won't leave a mark on the tire. Sidewalk chalk may be too hard.
I stopped at half a dozen stores on the way home. None had the soft chalk board type.

Not a dead plan, though.
