[Shop-talk] Tire Pressure Gauges

[Rochlin Robert]

	 My cheap calibration protocol is to take a reading with three different gauges If the results are within a pound (+_) I figure it's close enough for a car tire.  
	As an aside, my Nissan truck has a simple TPS waring light on the dash, but if I plug in my code scanner it gives me the tire pressure in as read from each of the tire sensors.
	Best,
	Bob.

For most of my life I used pencil type inflation gauges, which, while accurate, were really difficult to read.
