Expert Answers about Tire Pressure Gauges


  • Is Digital TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge Accurate
  • The TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge # TMG-AAA-Multi is accurate within 1 psi so it's very reliable. I've actually used this product a handful of times and it's extremely easy to use, plus it's a bit faster than an analog-style gauge. If you'd rather stick with the analog style then we have the High Precision Gauge # TMG-RV-Dial which uses a dial, and the Commercial Grade # TMG-330-39 which uses the traditional "stick" for reading the psi levels. Attached are some videos for you to check out!

  • 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...

  • Can The TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge Be Used With Your Left Hand
  • The TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge # TMG-AAA-Multi does have the screen on the left side of the gauge but the shape of it allows it to be used in either your left or right hand so there aren't separate versions.

  • Troubleshooting A TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge # TMG-AAA-Multi That's Only Reading 5 PSI
  • It sounds like the TireMinder Tire Pressure Gauge # TMG-AAA-Multi is either not properly reading and needs to be reset, you aren't pressing it straight onto the valve for it to get an accurate reading, or the value is set at bar instead of psi. To reset it you can remove the batteries for a few minutes and then replace them. It'd also b worth checking the charge level of the batteries or just replace them with ones that you know are good. The button next to the display screen can be pressed...

  • 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...

  • Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tires with Wheels Are Ready To Install
  • Great News! Your Karrier # AM32153 Tires & Wheels are ready to install on your equipment. (They are balanced using the Uniformity Method without weights.) You may only need to adjust the air pressure. If you don't have an rugged yet accurate tire pressure gauge you should pick up the Bulldog # BDW46FR pressure gauge and keep it in your glove compartment.

  • 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.

  • Will Wagan JumpBoost V10 Air Compressor Inflate Trailer Tires to 110 psi
  • The Wagan JumpBoost V10 Air # WC7556 not only has a gauge that reaches 150 psi, but the air pump is rated for that 150 psi. It will take an unknown amount of time to fill a ST235/85R16 tire to 110 psi. I reached out to the manufacturer and they said they know that it can fill a tire to that 110 psi without issue, but they did not document the time to do so. It would depend on the pressure already in the tire. If you were inflating from zero psi, it may take more than the 10 minute runtime...

  • 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...

  • Explanation for Trailer Tire Tread that is Convex Rather Than Flat
  • I consulted with our resident tire expert, and we're both at a loss. Heat build-up caused by over or under inflation, overloading the tire or failing to observe the speed rating of the tire (65mph in most cases) are the typical causes of premature tire failure. When you describe the tires as being 'rounded', I'm assuming that you mean that the tread portion of the tire is convex, rather than being flat so it makes full contact with the pavement. Over-inflation usually causes this, but...

  • Wireless Air Compressor for Air-Lift Rear Suspension Kit Installed in 2013 Toyota Tacoma
  • For your existing Air-Lift rear-axle air bag set-up you can add the Air-Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL74000. This system includes a feature that automatically restores your pre-set pressure in case of a pressure drop and digital air pressure gauges allow you to monitor your air bag pressure. To also have the ability to top off tire pressure you will need a compressor system that uses an air storage tank such as the Air-Lift QuickShot # AL25690 but note this system is not wireless.

  • 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.
