Tire pressure gauge?

[Nex]

Why would you use a tire gauge to check pressures when you have TMPS?

I bought these to help out. They seem to work great.

Can you post a pic? Just curious how far they stick out.

I have a Milton gauge from NAAPA. NAAPA has a lifetime warranty on the gauge. I'm on my third in about 20 years. I take it into the store, and they hand me a new one! I picked up a real expensive digital one, nothing but a pain in the butt and finicky/annoying to use. Give me a simple, reliable, mechanical gauge anytime.

@Nex , you can't rely on the TPMS being very accurate. I double check mine every few weeks. TPMS is great to warn you about a leak, but not so much for accurate tire pressures. My left front consistently reads 2 pounds low. I think the manual even warns to not rely on TPMS.

Think you missed the sarcasm sir. I was using a comment I recieved from my TPMS delete thread.

I did! I just went back and saw your eye roll emoji I didn't see. The interwebs are bad for that.
