Where can I find good tire data considering rim width, tire position, psi, rider weight, crr and aero?

TomA has done an amazing job on Blather 'bout bikes (http://bikeblather.blogspot.com/) educating us on Crr, Aero and total drag. It would seem to me though that rim width, tire position, psi, weight, crr and aero would all come into play. Has anyone ever seen all of these combined into a total drag analysis?

You'd need precise wind tunnel data for every combination of tire and wheel on every bike with every setup. Good luck with that.

Crr data isn't so hard, but you'll notice quite a bit of scatter in those numbers as well.

Best you can do is look at all the Crr and WT data you can find and make your own educated guess on what would be fastest for you.
