Underinflated car tires wear faster than those with proper pressure and can result in various hazards, from reduced steering response to tire blowout. For safety's sake, it's a good idea to keep an accurate pressure gauge, like this one from Tru-Flate, in each of your cars. We think this well-made, easy-to-read digital gauge is a big step ahead of the old mechanical, pen-shaped gauges. Unlike mechanical gauges that can lose accuracy over time due to their reliance on moving parts, the Tru-Flate gauge is designed to remain accurate to within 1 psi throughout the tool's life. It requires a miniscule amount of energy for each use, so its lithium cell battery should last as long as your car. This glove-compartment essential can save your gas mileage, your tires' longevity, and--quite possibly--your life.
