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) |

When I couldn't get a consistent reading, I stopped at my Discount tire store and had them check the pressure. I was running 26/28 lbs from home. They let air out of all my tires telling me I was in the low 30's on all.
My quest is to take all my gauges to the TMS Nascar in a month and find the tire booth. Good info. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
