1. A method for vehicle route optimization based on a measured rate of change of tire pressure, comprising:

  • recording specifications for at least one tire;

    recording a vehicular modifier, the vehicular modifier comprising at least one of a recommended tire pressure, a recommended maximum tire pressure, a recommended minimum tire pressure, a load modifier, and a speed rating;

    recording a rate of change of pressure in the at least one tire;

    determining a threshold at which the pressure within the at least one tire becomes undesirable;

    determining, based on the rate of change and the vehicular modifier, a point at which the pressure reaches the threshold; and

    presenting the point to a user.
