Why not just install TPMS?

About 20 years ago I got so ewhere a small digital gage the attached to a key chain. Still using it. But honestly any decent gage will work just fine that reads to 80PSI. Check amazon.com if you really want a digital gage. Their cheap, so just pick one.

You still need to check the tire pressure.

I check my tire pressure in my jammies by looking at my TPMS. Rain, dark, don’t care.

Why. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System seems to take care of that for me. Am I missing something?

How do you check it when filling the tires? Do you run back and forth to the cab?

That could take a while with non flow thru TPMS.
Don't some TPMS need to be rolling for them to send a signal ?

I have a Viair compressor with a gauge on the hose. I keep in mind the difference between that and the TPMS while adjusting the pressure.

I have an inexpensive one I bought at Walmart marketed by Slime. It was about 10 bucks. I checked it with my quality manual gauge and it's actually pretty accurate. It also goes up to at least 105 lbs in 1/2 lb increments.

Here is a relatively inexpensive digital gauge that was recommended by at least one tire expert. I’ve been using it for around 3 1/2 years and the tires on our Montana use 110 psi.

Hey guy’s, the nice lady simply asked for help on a digital pressure gauge, not advice on a TPMS.
