so how would we verify if they are properly calibrated?

sa akin dial type din, mas madali kasing basahin. But now i just go to shell gasoline station meron silang air pump with gauge , set lang to your desire tire pressure then automatic nang nag-stop

Buhayin ko po thread na ito.

Pano po malalaman kung un bibilin mong guage eh pede i-calibrate? Or lahat naman naa-adjust?

Saan po pede magpa calibrate?

Iba2x kasi nakukuha sa tires ko sa mga shops d2. Un isa, Goodyear Servitek pa man din, pero sobrang baba sa dial type nila na malabo namang mangyari kasi d naman mukang flat, ok naman marks nya sa kalye kung basa, at ayus naman FC ko.

Salamat po.

i don't think that the off the shelf tire gauges can be calibrated.

though I do check from time to time my tire gauge's reading against the digital reading found in some gasoline stations. it's still pretty accurate.

I'm using the pen type. I also check my tire pressure at the nearest gas station from my house every time I pump in gas.

I too use the stetho-gauge dial-type which i bought at ACE hardware years back and it's still reliable. you can't adjust or calibrate it but make sure you release the air in it after each use. there's an air release button on the side. i think it costs P500+.

I use a pen type tire gauge. No idea on it's accuracy. I just have my tires check every 2 weeks when I gas up. I am due for a tire pressure check this week when I gas up.
