    Anyone here who is manually maintaining tyre pressure by using gauges and air pumps?

    Yes, I do. I have both a tire gauge and a portable automatic digital tire inflator in the car all the time.

    for the tyre inflator, do you use your car's battery?

    btw, where did you buy those?

    Just plug into the car cigarette lighter port. I also have my own AC-DC 12V adapter so I can plug to wall outlet directly.

    Sa tyre inflator, dapat naka-On ang makina para hindi madiskarga ang baterya.

    Need recommendations on the specs of the air pump guys, thanks!

    I guess it would be better if you can recommend tried and tested ones.

    Hey, Chris aka "TireWhisperer here,

    I wouldn't "do tires" any other way than with my own gear.

    Most producers of products are good to great at what they specialize in:

    Car makers: Cars, SUVs, light trucks.

    Tire accessory makers: Gauges, pumps, tread-depth readers etc.

    I would rely on a dashboard tire pressure readout strictly as a backup resource, but rely first on a good gauge to get tire pressures where they need to be.

    i'm maintaining pressures for 2 cars and 3 bikes. easiest way is to use this foot pump w/ digital gauge. just go to each wheel and use leg power no need to fool around w/ wires and such

    i used to do it w/ a foot pump plus a separate gauge coz i was using a pump w/ an inaccurate gauge. the integrated and accurate gauge on this michelin is a big help. highly recommended

    How long does it take for you to finish all 4 tyres with this?

    I use the same pump. Based on usage, 10 pumps per 1 psi.

    I used Michelin Micro Tyre Inflator and Coido for tire gauge. Parehas sila ng reading.

    Ginagamit ko yan atleast once a month para maensure ko na tama lagi ang tire pressure.

    (hindi ako marunong maglagay ng picture for reference)

    question about that air pump with digital gauge sa gas station; accurate ba siya?
    kasi pag nagpa karga ako sa vulcanizing shop ng 30 psi, then after a few days pa check ko sa gas station using the air pump with digital gauge laging mga 40 psi ang reading

    Try getting a measurement from another gas station or using your own gauge. From experience, there was a Petron station that gave consistently higher measurements than others.

    Or you can get a digital tire pressure reader from lazada

    but do these gadgets hold their calibration well?

    Its fairly accurate naman for me. I also noticed yun mga tire pressure gauge sa vulcanising shops, yun stick-type ba yun, is not accurate. I dunno if its probably those generic gauges or it needs calibration or repair.

    I simply use this track pump. More than adequate. Kindly note that tire pressure goes down about 1-2psi when it's cold, especially in the morning. It goes back up again when you've driven it for 20-30 minutes as the tyre heats up when used or during the hot day time. So, if your tyre pressure is 30psi and you checked in the morning and it's 28 psi, don't trouble yourself pumping it. It's totally normal. Otherwise, you might over inflate it by 1-2 psi once it gets hot.
