Analog guage with a 2" face and a pressure bleed valve. Overinflate the tire a couple of lbs then slowly bleed off the excess. You can easily balance the tires to within 1/2lb. And yes, check often and only when cold.

I may as well get something good so long as I am getting one.

Thanks
Any auto parts store.

He is just not going to admit he thought the only way to truley measure his tire air pressure was by way of his DIC.

FOR THE 'WIN'


What's wrong with pencil gages? Their design basically. There is a hole through which air pushes against a small piston, the piece with the numbers on it that comes out. The problem is, if the seal is too tight, it has friction losses, if it's too loose, it has pressure loss, if it's dirty, well, you got the idea.

While on the subject of tire inflation Wolf Dogs, what is your opinion of nitrogen fill? Is pure nitrogen better than the compressed air I've been using that contains 76% nitrogen? And also, how about that nitrogen enriched Shell gasoline? I'm concerned it may contain so much inert gases that it won't ignite in the combustion chamber.

I can't really comment on the nitrogen in gasoline thing, Im not a chemist.. but I have a gut feeling its a little "overplayed" if you know what i mean...

We have a ton of threads on this forum about nitrogen fill vs regular air.. i have posted in quite a few of them and included a lot of technical data from the industry. No offense, but use "search" and im sure you will be reading for quite some time...
