If a truck is overweight will reducing air pressure of tyres lower the vehicle weight?

Hi wire,

How you doing?

Yes reducing the air in a tire will reduce the total weight of the vehicle.

You can say that a Litre of air weighs ~ 1 gram. But I am not sure how much air is in a tire. Depends on the size of the tire as well.

I would imagine the air in the truck 'tires' would weigh several Kilos? I have forgotten how the Math works, sorry. If you can tell me the area of the inside of a truck tire I think I can tell you the weigh, how about that? Better that a smack in the face with a wet fish? ;=)

Take care.

I couldn't resist answering such an inane question without a little butter

Hi wire,

Are you fine?

Yes the OP's request is not exactly the most readable piece on CR4. It is almost a statement really. I feel there should have been another bit that is missing?

Take care my friend.

You should calculate the section modulus with stiffners. Otherwise use STAAD or other softwares

Yes, I agree. Then determine what the equivalent thickness is w/o stiffners. Finally, check your stresses to makes sure they are acceptable.
