A tire pressure gauge is a device used to measure the air pressure inside a tire. It is important to maintain correct tire pressure as it affects the vehicle’s handling, safety, and fuel efficiency. Underinflated tires can lead to poor handling, increased rolling resistance, and reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tires can cause a harsh ride, reduced traction, and premature wear.
Tire pressure gauges are relatively inexpensive and easy to use. There are two main types of tire pressure gauges: analog and digital. Analog gauges use a needle to indicate the pressure, while digital gauges display the pressure on an LCD screen. To use a tire pressure gauge, simply insert the gauge into the tire’s valve stem and press down on the gauge’s button. The gauge will then display the tire pressure.
