Reviews: What People Think About Bike Tire Pressure Calc

I’ve meticulously recorded my tire pressures for all types of riding conditions for my gravel, mountain, road, and fat bike riding. This app takes it to a whole new level with the ability to adjust for temperatures at time of inflation as well as when riding. The other fabulous feature is to adjust for the type of terrain you will be riding on. This will be game changing for optimizing tire pressures, particularly for mountain bike and fat bike riding – especially in winter conditions where there are big differences for inflation pressure versus actual riding pressures that are needed for colder temperatures. I look forward to not having to adjust or check tire pressures for winter fat bike riding out at the trail when I fill them up with air at home. Finally, be sure to measure the actual tire with in millimeters preferably (vs inches for greatest accuracy) as the sidewall measurements aren’t always close to manufacturer specifications given internal rim width and other factors.

If you ride in different conditions, have a few bikes that get frequent use, or change tires often (looking at you, cyclocross) this app is a game changer. You can store all of your bike setups so you don’t have to re-enter info each time, and the calculations it gives are pretty spot on given my testing against what I had been running. Wide rims with high volume tires mean a psi here or there makes a big difference, whether that’s on my gravel, MTB, or fat bike. Super happy and will keep using this for different riding conditions and various bikes.

This is a great app and I use it frequently to determine optimal tire pressures on my MTB and gravel.
One recommendation is to switch the orientation of the bike and front vs rear tire. Most riders get on their bike from the left side, so I always picture the bike facing left, so front tire on the left and rear tire on the right, but the app shows opposite and can be confusing. Thanks for a great app though!
About Bike Tire Pressure Calc
The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator app powered by Wolf Tooth allows cyclists to find their ideal tire pressure based on terrain and riding conditions for the route ahead. Cyclists share details for wheel size, tire width, rider weight, riding temperature, and more to receive a specific recommendation for tire inflation pressure for gravel, mountain, and fat bikes.
Wolf Tooth is a manufacturer of bike components, tools, and accessories. The company is based in Minnesota, USA and is known for precision engineering, thoughtful design, innovative solutions, and top-quality CNC machining. Popular Wolf Tooth products include the EnCase Pump, tubeless valves, headsets, chainrings, grips and bar tape, pedals, dropper posts and dropper levers, and multi-tools. The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator app combines the new EnCase Pump with Wolf Tooth’s reputation for precision and innovation.
Tire pressure is one of the least appreciated aspects of bicycle performance. When discussing performance, it is important to remember that it does not just mean going faster. Performance also means riding with more confidence and having more fun on your bike. Every rider will benefit from having the correct tire pressure for their riding conditions, from novice to professional.
The Wolf Tooth philosophy is based on the idea that lower pressures are better for performance. The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator is built around this point of view. Perhaps a better way to state it is “the lowest possible pressure consistent with terrain, riding style and equipment is better”. It’s certainly possible to go too low and the difference between “just right” and “too low” can be small. The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator app powered by Wolf Tooth will find the ideal tire pressure that is at the intersection of fast, comfortable, and confident.
Why is lower tire pressure better?
Improved traction & control. This is the big one – by reducing pressure, more of the tire is in contact with the ground and the tire is more compliant. These factors make your bike more fun to ride, add to your confidence, and, if you are racing, can make you faster. Instead of bouncing off every rock and root, the tire can deflect and conform to them. Cornering speeds and confidence will increase.
Improved comfort. Tires work as a form of micro suspension and lower pressure helps this. While it’s critically important on bikes without suspension, you will even notice it on a full suspension mountain bike as reduced trail buzz from small rocks, roots, etc. and an overall calmer feeling to the ride.
Lower rolling resistance on rough or soft surfaces. Yes, lower pressure can actually reduce rolling resistance, as counterintuitive as it sounds. As the tire becomes more compliant, it can more easily absorb small impacts instead of transferring them into the bike/ride as vertical motion and this saves energy. On softer surfaces, the tire will float on top of the surface instead of digging in. This is especially apparent on something like sand, snow or deep gravel but it’s a factor anytime the trail surface is not firm.
Using the Wolf Tooth tire pressure app as a guide, you can quickly get pressure recommendations that will be in the ideal range for your weight, tire size/type, and riding conditions. Then through a little experimentation, you can decide what works best for you on any given ride.
Two modes:
The Bike Tire Pressure Calculator has two modes for finding your perfect tire pressure. The basic mode accounts for abbreviated factors to quickly determine the best tire pressure, while the advanced mode considers several factors to identify the ideal tire pressure for the ride ahead.
Whether you want to receive a quick tire pressure recommendation for your next ride or take a detailed look at improving your overall riding experience, the Bike Tire Pressure Calculator powered by Wolf Tooth will help you find your perfect tire pressure.
