TV tire pressure?
Just replaced the worn out stock Goodrich Rugged Trail "E" tires with Michelin Defender LTX. Of course the tire place did not fill to the right pressure....Ford says 55/60. Which go me thinking......

It would in fact be a good way to measure the deflection of the tire.
That is what pressure for a sertain load on tire is all done for, to give the tire a deflection that wont give to much heatproduction for the speed you drive.
In the bycicle world 15% of free flecible part of sidewall is concencus.
Also for cars I read this 15% a few times.
This can be measured simply with a ruler , mesure for instance from middle of wheel to ground, or from rimm edge to ground .
Once you know howmuch deflection is save , you can always measure that.
But because weight R and L are mostly not the same on the axle, you would need different psi in them to give the same deflection.
