I have 3 pencil air gauges and one dial analog gauge. They range from 3lbs low to 8 lbs high across the 4, when checking one tire.
How can we know if a gauge is reading right? Where is the tester for the gauge? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

At bigger races, both auto or motorcycles. There is almost always a big tire supplier. They have a test station where you are free to check your gauges.
Every other time I go to an event I take my gauges and test em for accuracy. Its got a big dial gauge or digital read out that shows the pressure and a shrader valve for you to test your gauge. I would agree having all your tires the same is a key. However I think having the right pressure is just as important. Not to sure about cars, But if I was racing my roadracing motorcycle with the pressure off 4 lbs.... I would not be getting the tires to the right temp or getting em too hot. |
