Accutire
Driving with correctly inflated tires is important for several reasons:

Although most drivers know this, many still do not take preventative action by regularly checking their tire pressure. According to a survey by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), 27 percent of the passenger cars and 33 percent of the light trucks (including SUVs, vans and pickups) on America's roads have at least one substantially under-inflated tire.

Under-inflation of tires increases the likelihood of many different types of crashes, including those involving: (1) skidding and/or loss of control of the vehicle; (2) hydroplaning; (3) increases in stopping distance; (4) flat tires and blow-outs, and (5) overloading of the vehicle.

For the small amount of time it takes, checking tire inflation at least once a month is one of the best investments you can make to get the maximum life out of your tires. Proper inflation can also improve gas mileage by more than 3% when maintained regularly. Keep this in mind: Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 PSI (pounds per square inch) drop in pressure of all four tires. You may want to check your tires more often during the winter months. Tires will lose about 1 PSI of pressure for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature drop.

Keep an accurate tire pressure gauge in your car's glove box (many gauges at "air stations" give false pressure readings) and check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Never trust the appearance of a tire as a gauge for inflation. A tire could be 10 PSI low on pressure and not appear to be low on air. Use the recommended inflation pressure listed in your vehicle's owner's manual or on the inflation sticker found on the driver's door jamb. While you're at it, don't forget to check the spare. There's nothing more annoying than a flat spare when you have a flat tire

Tire pressure checking is an important auto safety check that everyone should do frequently. Use the Accutire MS-4751WC to get quick, accurate readings.

Customer Reviews

great tool!
This tire gauge is easy to use with large numbers. It illustrates both front and back tire pressure so you can set both and alternate between as you check your tires. I recommend it highly especially during this time of high gas prices when you want to get the most out of a tank of gas.

Disgusted with products made in China
I bought this tire gauge after "trusting" the comments of those whom bought one.

Yes, this tire gauge works very well and is simple to use. The instructions are well written and so far I am pleased with my purchase.

However (don't you hate the "howevers?")- when you look at this tire gauge and the quality of workmanship - I think it looks "Chinese." I don't have to say anymore...you understand...

The battery cover on the back of the gauges is held in place with one cheap little screw and because of this, the cover does not seal completely. I know this is not a "high dollar" item, but Accutire can only take so many negative comments before their reputation is sullied and they are "no more."

My last comment is about the paint or silver coating covering the tire gauge. It is cheap and is already wearing off - it came this way right out of the package!

If you don't care about the looks and just care about functionability then buy it because it works well.

wasteful packaging
the product itself is fine, but good lord, i think it's impossible to package it in a LARGER plastic container! these guys are burning Amazon on free shipping...
