I think this calculator is OVERLY optymistic ... for example, MTB 29x2.4 tires (62mm), worst surface (gravel cat 4), 90kg system weight and the calc proposes 0.8 bar !!! it's not possible to take a turn with such pressure. 1.4-1.6 bar is realistic... and what about road tires? 29mm, high perf, good pavement - 5.3-5.4 bar (I think the calc was updated, before it was lower?) - This works, however I have a question, why tire manufactures suggest higher pressure? even minimum more like 6 bar (continental and pirelli for example)

O.8 bar is pretty low, I haven’t tried those calculations but I have run 2.6” tyres at those pressures without any issues
