my goal is to find something that works over a reasonable range of requests, then just stay on top of it by being anal about the pressures being set correctly.

i find a brand/size i like and tend to stick with it. i like the comfort zone of consistency.

i'm trying to remember how much air bleeds out of a tire naturally. 1% every 24 hours? something like that....

(having used the SmarTire system (as did steve carlton), you learn a lot of real-time info about what your tires are actually doing. you can see heat cycles come and go and you can dial in a sweet spot based on temperature by varying psi until you find what "sticks" the best. it's yet another way to approach it).

here's a third way: we used to totally toss the tire gauge sometimes, and instead would measure the OD of the tire to adjust the pressures. when the tire was XX millimeters large when measured around the peak, it was good to go. if the tire had 6 laps on it, that mm number would be adjusted. ya don't see anybody doing that anymore. probably a good reason too.
