TPM accuracy
I have one that reads 2psi lower than the rest
. The other 3 all read 2psi lower than my digital tester. Is this normal or an indicator that the batteries are failing?

Are you driving when you check them. Don't they have to be moving for a few minutes before they are actually accurate?

I have compared all of mine to a digital gauge and they are all dead on.

Mine are also dead on. I did replace them about two years ago when I changed tires. Never had probs with the OEM ones up to that time.

Mine are pretty much dead on also but honestly I just use the TPMS to see if I've lost an inordinate amount of air. When filling them I use a quality digital gauge anyway and that's that...
