The Accutire Standard Digital Tire Gauge includes a long-lasting lithium battery. This gauge is a work horse, reading air pressure from 5-150 PSI in ½ pound increments. When you are dealing with possible tire deflating, a quality and accurate reading is essential. The Nextech gauge I looked at looks just like one of the Accutire gauges and its part number (63-1113) is listed on CC's site as an Accutire gauge. I will be contacting the Tire Rack to find out if the gauges they sell are actually made by Accutire.
Overview The Accutire Programmable Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is a simple, accurate, and easy-to-use tire gauge that stores the recommended tire pressures for your vehicle's front and rear tires. Unlike pen-style tire gauges that may produce questionable readings, the Accutire Digital Tire Gauge is accurate to within a half of a PSI and beeps to verify that it has received a proper reading.
The tire pressure is clearly displayed on the backlit LCD screen for 10 seconds before the unit automatically shuts off to preserve battery life. The flashlight on the nozzle makes it easy to use in low-light situations.
Batteries are included and are replaceable. Avoid the hazard of underinflated tires We don't claim to be the website equivalent of an after-school special, but it's a fact that under-inflated tires lead to shorter tire life, uneven treadwear, worse gas mileage, and instability. If your tires are more than 8 PSI below their recommended level, they're considered 'substantially underinflated'. You can lose as much as 10 lbs of pressure in one season. According to the car experts, you should check your tire pressure every month. Keeping your tires in 'good health' is easy with the Accutire Digital Tire Gauge (here comes the sales pitch).
Unlike pen style gauges, a digital tire gauge clearly shows you the reading on its LCD screen. The Accutire Tire Gauge also beeps to let you know it has received a proper reading (how many times have you used a pen style gauge and on the first attempt it spits out a reading of 10 PSI and on the second, 33 PSI?). Avoid the danger of underinflated tires with the Accutire Digital Tire Pressure Gauge. Stores the recommended pressures for front and rear tires The Accutire Programmable Digital Tire Gauge allows you to set the recommended tire pressure for your front and rear tires. We'll admit that before we saw this product, we didn't know they should be different. Since this is a programmable tire gauge, when you check your tire pressure, you can easily compare it to the recommended pressure without trying to dig out your owner's manual.
On some cars, the proper values are listed on the side of the driver's door. The Accutire Digital Tire Gauge has an LCD screen with a blue backlight, making it easy to read your tire pressure measurement results.
The Accutire Digital Tire Gauge stores the correct tire pressures for both your front and rear tires. Includes an LED flashlight The Accutire Digital Tire Gauge includes a flashlight on the underside of the valve nozzle. This is useful for finding the tire pressure valve in the dark or for.well.finding anything in the dark! Having a flashlight in the glovebox is always handy. Keep the Accutire Digital Tire Gauge in your glovebox and you'll also always have a flashlight handy.
