tire gauges

Inflation measurement tools

Tire gauges are instruments for measuring air pressure in tires.

The most common types are pencil gauges, which extend a calibrated stick when pressed against a valve stem, and digital gauges, which display a numerical reading.

I keep a tire gauge in the glove compartment.
