 Put it on the road and press the pedal, that gives you the best idea

I wouldnt agree entirely...Or at least since having a rolling road, I would certainly never go back to tuning using the road as a "test medium"...For most modifications you havent a clue what is going on / what you have done! But yeah 1/4 mile strip gives you as good as idea of anything with regard to rough power if you know the vehicles weight.

I was talking about using the same dyno at the same place for repeatability of WHP figures. Most good operators set your tyre pressures before you run

Yes this is correct, Using the same dyno for comparisons on the same car is pretty reliable, obviously small changes can occur day to day and with the strap down, on the whole they are comparable. And yes tyre pressures should always be checked.
