Despite being more accurate than an analogue device, digital tyre pressure gauges need batteries to function. It's worth carrying some spare batteries in the event your digital gauge loses power. To determine the type of a pressure gauge, you need to know its application and measurement range. Here we've comprehensively analyzed the tyre pressure gauges with a measurement range between 0 to 100 PSI, 150 PSI and 250 PSI. As regards the application, it is a matter of personal choice. The compact pressure gauges are usually much favoured by owners of cars, motorcycles and scooters. Tyre inflators are more frequently used at service stations, they're a bit more expensive but also more accurate. More often than not, this type of pressure gauges is used for pumping wheels too. Usability and Extras The next big thing regarding tyre pressure gauges should be concerning your tyres themselves. Your vehicle’s handbook will always have the stated tyre pressures that should be on the front and rear wheels. Usually, the higher tyre pressures are accustomed to the drive wheels of your vehicle. Very rarely will a vehicle require the same pressures all-round. It’s also essential to keep an eye on your tread depths, but thankfully, tyre tread depth monitors are just the tool for that job.

Tyre gauges aren't all built the same. Many are meant only for casual use, offering the bare necessities, and are meant for people who only use them rarely, and then only out of necessity. The TireTek TT-GH01-QBR2-E Flexi-Pro Tyre Pressure Gauge is not one of those. This tyre gauge is meant for heavy-duty use, offering extremely accurate measurements according to the ANSI B40.1 Grade B international accuracy standard. Featuring an integrated bleed button for getting the absolute precise measurements, this tyre gauge is made of a heavy-duty steel case with a reinforced rubber hose, ensuring that it can handle even the most heavy-duty work. If you need to inflate your tyre, attach a suitable pump to the valve and increase the tyre pressure in small increments. If you need to deflate your tyre, you have two options. You can remove the pressure gauge and carefully use a screwdriver to push the metal pin on the valve to release air. Or if you are using an analogue gauge, you can use the built-in deflator button to bring the pressure to the correct amount. Some like our Michelin 240V superfast digital inflator plugs into your household mains if you’re worried about your cars battery. It will also inflate faster! Our Halfords Advance tyre inflator does both 12v and 240v! While others are rechargeable and don’t need to be plugged in to use, like our Michelin mini rechargeable inflator which is great for topping up tyre pressure where ever you are.
