Expert Answers about Tire Pressure Gauges

• Tire Pressure Gauge Shows 25psi But Trailer Tire Does Not Look Low
• I would check the pressure using a different gauge. Or you can take the tire to a local tire shop and ask if they can test the pressure. I have done this at my local oil change place when they weren't busy. Some tires don't look low, even if they are, but a trailer tire like a 20.5-8x10 you should be able to tell if it is in need of an additional 71 psi. Before towing the trailer with that tire on it I would advise testing the pressure with several gauges and if it needs filled a tire...

• Recommended Tire Pressure Monitoring System For Single Axle Trailer
• A tire pressure monitoring system like the TireMinder Tire Pressure Monitoring System for Brass Valve Stems - 4 Transmitters - Signal Booster # TPMS-APP-4 is great for trailers, however it does not work with water. It will work great for your dry travel with tires up to 80 psi, but submerging in water will ruin the transmitters that screw onto the valve stems. The nice thing about having a system like this with a single axle trailer is you will have a couple extras transmitters for another...

• 4.8 X 12 Trailer Tires Speed Rated for 81 MPH
• I have two tires that fit your needs. The Taskmaster # TTWSF48012C is a 6-ply Bias Ply tire rated for up to 990 pounds per tire (Load range C) and speed rated (M) up to 81 mph. The Taskmaster # TT48012C is a radial trailer tire also load range C and speed rated for 81 mph. Personally, for trailers, I don't think that radials bring much additional benefit over bias ply. If you need tires already mounted on wheels just email me back with your bolt pattern. This is probably a good...

• Replacement Tires for 2021 Jayco 184BS Travel Trailer
• Tongue weight for a convention tow travel trailer is 10% to 15% of total trailer weight. If you were to fully load your trailer to 100% of it's capacity (4300 pounds) then your tongue weight would be 430 to 645 pounds. That leaves 3655 to 3870 pounds riding on the axle, or 1827 to 1935 per tire. That's around an 8% margin to the good. That is sufficent for safe travel you do not need to change your tires. However, I am like you - I like having the odds stacked heavily in my favor. If...

• Recommended Valve Tire Stem Extenders For Easier Access To Add Air Or Check Air Pressure
• Since steel valve stems are not very flexible, it can at times be difficult to add air or find the room for a tire gauge to be able to fit. I recommend adding an extension like part # WM802990. The extenders are made of nickel-plated brass and feature a 90 degree bend that allows easier access for adding air or using a tire gauge. For a valve extender with a 45 degree bend I recommend part # WM8029. Both of these extenders screw onto your existing valve stem.

• What Tire Pressure Do I need To Run In My Trailer Tires?
• The tire pressure you use in your tires should be what is suggested by the trailer manufacturer. This information is found on the trailer information tag that is generally found on the front drivers side of the trailer. The tag is similar to ones found on a vehicle in that it will give you the axle load rating and a manufacturer suggested tire pressure. I recommend a Tire Pressure Gauge # TMG-AAA-Multi to check your tire pressures. You will want to ensure that you do not exceed the maximum...

• Tools For Filling and Releasing Air Pressure From Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Springs # F2709
• To take air out of the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs # F2709 on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 it is the same process as with valve stems on a tire. I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Tire Inflator with Air Pressure Gauge # BDW28SV when inflating and checking he air pressure. This has a relief valve that will allow you to slowly drain the pressure without removing the gauge. The air springs have a maximum air pressure rating of 150psi and require a minimum...

• Should the Tire Pressure Be Inflated To Trailer Or Tire Manufacturers Specifications?
• This is the information on the warranty for directly from Kenda for the Kenda K353 Bias Trailer Tire # AM10060. "Check air pressure monthly when tires are “cold”. Use an accurate tire air pressure gauge. Do not reduce pressure when tires are hot. Proper inflation is essential. Underinflation produces flexing of sidewalls and builds up heat to the point that premature tire failure may occur. Overinflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage." So by underinflating...

• Can Bulldog Winch BDW56FR Be Used To Check Air Pressure In Inside Dual Rear Wheel?
• Since the Bulldog Winch Air Pressure Gauge # BDW56FR you were looking at has a bendable hose it is a fantastic option for reaching the valve stem on the inside wheel of your 2021 Forester Classic 2861 Dually. You can push the gauge in and pull it back if the valve stem is facing the inside frame of the vehicle, or you can bend the hose to maneuver it as needed. I included a video of the # BDW56FR for you to take a look at.

• Recommended Air Pressure Adjustment Gauge for Air Bags and Current Compressor
• With your current compressor you would need the Air Lift Single Needle Gauge Panel with One Paddle Switch # AL26161. This will allow you to add air and remove air from your air bags. If you let me know what vehicle you have I'd be happy to make a recommendation for a custom fit air bag system. The system will come with the air lines you need.

• Recommended Compressor for Roadside Tire Inflation
• The best air compressor option we have for tire inflation is a portable kit like the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor part # BDW41003 as it hooks up to a 12 volt outlet and there is a built-in pressure gauge so you can see the real time psi. We don't offer a way to auto fill a tire unfortunately, you'll need to monitor pressure as you fill the tire. The correct psi for a vehicle tire will be located on a sticker inside the door jamb. The Firestone Heavy Duty Air Compressor is designed...

• Can Tuson TPMS RV System be Used on Spare Tire
• I spoke with my contact at Tuson regarding their TPMS systems like the 6 Sensor Kit # 335TPMS6WIVS that you were looking at and he said that the tire does need to be rotating for the sensor to be able to gauge pressure and temperature. You can certainly still mount the sensor to the spare and program it to the monitor but it's not going to be able to read any data until the spare is actually mounted and being used. For a similar system that CAN be used to read the pressure of a spare...

• Single Axle Boat Trailer Tire Load Rating Suggestions
• The Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TTWTRTM2157514D will have a more stiff and less forgiving sidewall on your boat trailer than the Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C # TTWTR21514. It will truly be hard for you to notice an actual difference though when driving. When it comes to which tire I recommend that will vary based on the different scenario. If you pushing close to the maximum weight rating I will recommend going to a higher load...

• Air Spring Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy 1500 Express Van
• A dual path setup like the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2423 that you referenced would be a great solution for you. Since you would be able to inflate either side of the bags to different air pressures you would be able to compensate for your uneven loads due to your glass rack. For a compressor system that would allow you to inflate either bag to your preferred air pressure that features a gauge that will allow you to view both air bag pressures you would want the Firestone...

• Engine Oil Cooler and Pressure Gauge Recommendation for a 2008 Chevy Silverado
• According to Derale, the 5.3 liter engine used in 2007 and 2008 uses a filter thread size of 22 x 1.5mm and an O-ring size of 2-3/4 inches. The Derale Engine Oil Coolers # D15405 is compatible with oil filters with those dimensions so it would work well for you. The easiest way to run an oil pressure gauge would be to use the info that is present at your OBDII port by using an Insight part # EP84030. Running a pressure gauge off of the sandwich adapter is not something we would be able...

• Compressor Kit Recommendation for Firestone Air Suspension Enhancement with Gauge
• The Firestone Compressor part # F2097 is a kit that comes with a gauge to monitor the air pressure in the air bags of the vehicle since that is the most important PSI to keep track of so another gauge isn't needed with this.
