A Tyre Pressure Gauge in use. There are many brands that sell Tyre Gauges.

A Tyre Pressure Gauge is a pressure gauge utilised to measure out the pressure of tyres on a vehicle.

Environmental circumstances can introduce a 13 % to 15 % variableness in pressure due to temperature (0 °C to 40 °C), and another changes can result due to altitude. Most car manuals don’t put forward valued pressure as a function of temperature or altitude and entrust it to the user to pull in the appropriate measurements.

As tyres are placed for specific loads at certain pressure, it is crucial to maintain the pressure of the tyre at the optimal amount. Tyres are rated for their optimal pressure when they are cold, meaning before the tyre has been driven on for the day and permitted to heat up, which in the end changes the internal pressure of the tyre due to the expansion of gases. The accuracy of a typical tyre gauge is ± 3 psi. Higher accuracy gauges with ±1 psi accuracy may also be found.
