What if he had a power meter, and it showed that he produced fewer watts with the lower pressure tire. Or he did indeed output the same watts. Or he produced more watts on the lower pressure tire? But nonetheless he was faster therefore on the more inflated tires. How exactly would another person make use of this information and apply it so as to know whether to add, subtract or leave unchanged, their current tire pressure?
