exactly. Of course we wish we could have it all auto adjust with a menu on a computer or our phone. But that isn't worth it weight wise, so we make do. Hell even Nascar uses tire pressures to adjust handling and they could afford to do most anything they chose.

Point being, air pressure is not something you just let someone else set for you and pretend that is just fine.
