I am doing a research on tires dynamics, tire technologies and tire pressure. So far I gathered most of the material/information I need, except the history of the PSI standardization.
Why, when, where and who came up with the idea of affixing the sticker on the driver side (door jamb) that shows the manufacturer recommended PSI on front/rear tires.
What is the methodology, how did they (who's they???) come up with those numbers? 28 PSI on the front / 32 PSI on the rear (for example)
When was the first sticker affixed, by which car manufacturer, what model, what year? Was the methodology renewed over the years? And if yes how and who conducted the tests? Where?
I don't seem to find on line so far any of those information.
Any ideas, theories, literature, links?
Thank you anticipated,
TD
