Let the paint dray and drive normal for a mile or so. Check your wear pattern and increase or decrease tire pressure until you have even paint removal across the entire tread pattern.

Paint gone on the outside and not the center= under inflated.
paint gone in the middle and not the outside= over inflated.

Chalk works to but can sometimes rub off pretty easy and lie to you. This trick works for your daily drivers as well.

I use a red marking crayon.
