Why Digital Tire Gauge Inflator?
Digital tire gauge inflators are the most accurate and very easy to read. Most will display air pressure in psi, kPa (kilopascal) or bar (barometric or 100 kPa). Once the digital tire gauge inflator is pressed on to the valve stem, the gauge can read the pressure in two or three seconds. Digital gauges rely on batteries, so you'll have to keep an eye on power levels.
The Importance of Proper Tire Pressure
Approximately 11,000 car crashes each year are caused by tire failure, according to an estimate by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Underinflated tires are pinpointed as a major cause of failure, while properly inflated tires can yield a 3.3% increase in fuel economy -- and may just save your life.
Most new vehicles have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that warns if a tire dips under the recommended air pressure. If your car is older, however, you'll need to use a tire pressure gauge to check if you have the correct tire pressures. You'll be served well to check them regularly because your tires are the only part of your car that actually touch the ground.
