if that were the case, the tires would constantly be setting off the light when making too many turns because one side or the other would heat up (and raise psi) faster. never had an issue or saw a tpms system THAT touchy that a fraction of a psi set it off. Oh yeah, and I don't have the education and resources to do so.Ī standard milton 20-120psi pencil gauge always worked for me. Why can't one of you mo-fo's invent the solution to this problem? I would, but the holidays are creeping up. I hate digi gauges because they're bulky. I love pencil gauges but I can't rely on them for very long. I guess what I'm really after is a gauge that will hold calibration. I know I'm not the only out there that's had to deal with this before. What I do know is that when I do a set of tires and go through TPMS reset procedure, and that dag'um (!) is still on I want to send my pencil gauge straight to hell. I assume the digital equipment holds calibration better. And by heavy use I mean in the neighborhood of 500 readings a week.Īll the mechanical pencil gauges I've bought tend to crap out. As long as it's consistent and won't go out of calibration after a month or two of heavy use. I don't give a flying fart about what format the gauge displays psi. When vehicles have a dash display that identifies the tire position and said pressures, and I have customer complain that I half-ass'd the tire inspection I have to stop what I'm doing and rectify the situation. I'm of the opinion that if your gauge reads +/- 2 psi of what the desired pressure is, that you're freakin' fine and that there's no reason to be so damn finicky about the subject. I personally don't care about MY tire pressures being exact.
