Lumiereholic Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge for Car Truck Motorcycle Bicycle with Hose and Backlight LCD Display(0-100 psi)
B40.1 calibrated
However, I returned it as won’t read pressure on the fly. That is if overinflated and press release valve the gauge remains on original reading which is a bit pointless as you have to guess what you’ve let out and can easily go over

OK, thanks for that. Yes I agree you really need the gauge to follow the pressure as it is released.Pacemaker wrote: ↑Tue Feb 11, 2020 10:56 pm Lumiereholic Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge for Car Truck Motorcycle Bicycle with Hose and Backlight LCD Display(0-100 psi)

I'm mighty confused over tyre pressures for Porsche, for the last 50 odd years I've maintained my tyre pressure as recommended when they are cold, that's first thing in the morning after the car has been standing overnight, to the correct pressure winter and summer. So my Macan lives on 36psi rear and 33psi front when the tyres are cold and that's year round. In the spring when the weather starts to warm, I might have to release some air to bring them down to the correct pressure. It's surprising the difference a little sunlight makes to tyre pressures, and of course once the car has been rolling the same applies. If the sun falls on one side of the car, there will be a difference in pressure to the other side, that's why checking when cold all round gives an accurate reading. I only use the monitors as a guide because they don't show pressures until the car has started moving and by then the tyres are already starting to warm up.
