Where to get tyre pressure gauge?

[Jchuacl]

Errh, it's more for personal interest on how driving style and ambient temperature affects the temp of tyres.

Initially I was looking for a ready to use themocouple for this. May I know where I can get more info on the device that you attached the picture?

Google NON-CONTACT THERMOMETER - there alot of suppliers for such testers

any recommendation brands for reliable tyre pressure gauge?

Better to get proper dial gauge model rather than the push-rod type.

 

I have been using a Sellery Tire Pressure Gauge (56-603) which I bought for about $7.50 about 5 yrs ago from a neighbourhood hardware shop. It has metal body and has an air-release button. Looks similar to Yeobh's photo in post above this one, but without the hose.

 

In any case if your tyres are warm or hot, pump about 10-30 kPa more. Then use the gauge to check the tyre pressure again the next morning before driving, when the tyres are cool. Release some air if necessary. Don't forget to maintain pressure of the spare tyre; won't want to find it flat when you need it most!

 

Here's a photo of my Sellery tyre pressure gauge model number JD-3205 (with metal body). Still in good working condition. Like other measuring equipment, tyre gauge should be prevented from drops/knocks which may adversely affect its acccuracy. I bought at a shop in Ginza Plaza which is now under major renovations. Check availability/price at home hardware shops.

 

 

IMO the accuracy of push-rod type pressure gauge will deteriorate over time as there is friction/wear and dirt in between the parts.

I understand this brand belongs to a local Hardware shop. They target solely on DIY tool markets and compete mainly on pricing . Correct me, my info mayb out of date.

This is good, can monitor tyre pressure and also tyre temperature.

Don't know, found this video on youtube and thought that it would be useful for drivers.

 

Perhaps could google and order it online?

I actually prefer old school way, which is to go down to store and have a look and feel the product before buying. Haha
