Tyre Pressure Gauges

The level of performance you can achieve with your tyres is most heavily influenced by the air pressure contained within the tyre. Accordingly, ensuring accurate inflation is absolutely vital. Whether you are a seasoned racer, a track day warrior, a delivery driver or offroad explorer, having the right tyre pressure can mean the difference between coming first or second, it can mean the difference between finding a few 10ths and bettering your best lap time, it can mean the difference between a safe or unsafe stopping distance or it can mean the difference between having the traction you need to climb out of a hole or being stuck in it. No matter what type of driver you are, you are gonna need a quality tyre pressure gauge in order to ensure you are able to maintain suitable and accurate  tyre pressure.

Tyres are one of the most important aspects of a vehicle when it comes to safety whether it is on the road or off the beaten track, driven by a general commuter or a motorsport professional. Maintaining optimal tyre pressures not only increases performance and handling, it also has a huge bearing on the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and on the service life of the tyres themselves. Under or over inflated tyres not only require replacement far sooner than those maintained at optimal pressures throughout their service life, they are also far more dangerous and can substantially degrade a given cars ability to stop, turn and generally maintain reasonable contact with the ground over which you are travelling. Accordingly, it is imperative to keep a close eye on the air pressure in your tyres, for which you are going to need a quality tyre pressure gauge.

There are a few things to consider when looking for a tyre pressure gauge for your vehicle. Depending on your age, the type of vehicle you drive and the kind of driving you do, these might include type, form factor, application suitability, range, durability, accuracy and readability.

Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges

Digital tyre pressure gauges are generally more compact and convenient to use, however can feature small screens that might be difficult to read in the wrong light or on the wrong angle. They do however generally provide precise readings to a resolution of one or more decimal places, and don’t suffer from the type of parallax problems which can happen when taking readings from an analog dial gauge. Digital pressure gauges can also experience bat flattery, with you learning of the need to replace the batteries at the least opportune moment. So, while digital tyre pressure gauges are generally the most compact and affordable, they are not without their shortcomings.

• Compact
• Durable
• Requires batteries
• Accurate

Analog Tyre Pressure Gauges

Analog tyre pressure gauges are a great choice due to the fact they do not rely on a battery to function, so if you haven’t used yours for a while you need not be concerned it won’t power up due to the battery having deteriorated since you last used it. They usually generally feature a larger screen or dial too, making it easier to see rough readings at a glance. Analog tyre pressure gauges are also available in a wider range of form factors to suit a more diverse list of intended use applications. But they are far more susceptible to damage due to knocking or dropping, and they have an accuracy curve that means they are generally most precise around the middle of the gauge. Accordingly, it is important to look after your analog dial gauge, being careful not to subject it to hard knocks or temperature extremes whether in use or not, and it is highly beneficial to select a dial gauge with a range generally no greater than twice the kind of pressure you are going to need to check.

• Affordable
• Sensitive to damage
• Doesn’t require batteries to operate
• Can integrate capability for rapid tyre deflation
