+1. If you are going to do a roll out, you need to test it like this at the PSI you ride with.

This is not necessarily a good way to test it... You can't ride in a perfectly straight line, as it will be measured on a map. In addition, what lane you are in will also affect the total distance when you compare it to a map(you cover more distance to make a left turn than a right turn, etc). Even though these differences will be small, they are still going to invalidate any type of precision you want.
