yes! of course I pulled out the wiper and pushed the rubber blade flat against the ruler. That's the only way to measure it properly.

I'm very OCD about such things. When I check my tire pressure, I use tire gauges, two electronic and two digital, from 4 different brands to make sure that they have the identical reading.(and check that against whatever the car's own TPMS is showing)

Ah good! From the photo I thought you measured it as it was.

that’s dedication! How long does it take you to measure all four tires? 🤣

I only need to measure 1 tire with 4 gauges. If they all read 35psi, then I just measure the other 3 tires with any of the gauges. Maybe when my OCD gets worse with age, I'll have to measure each tire with 4 gauges?

Oh gotcha! At least you know for sure that they’re all equal!

If it's 30 cm don't you mean 11.811 inches?

of course, I will need to get a more accurate ruler, just in case my ruler is off by 1mm or something.
