You don't!
YOu buy another. I suggest a dial type over all others. The sticks are notoriously off and really so are digitals. Unless you are going to pay big money on a digital. Here's the HD one I have... real nice, accurate and even has a tread depth gauge. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US |
I can calibrate it for you based upon on a boost pressure sensor used in our trucks. Just have to T the sensor and gauge together and maintain constant pressure (I have a regulator). You can adjust the pressure gauge accordingly then so at 30 psi they both read the same. The boost pressure sensor has probably a few ops amps to lineraize the output, but it's probably within 1% of true gauge pressure. It would be more accurate than a 25 buck digital guage.
I'd have to subtract out the BARO as well. |

Company that manufactured this one seems to be out of business. So much for the lifetime warranty. |

I was hoping for an answer like "take it to the firearms section of your local wal-mart and they can handle it" ;)

Yeah, just test it against a few others... if it's off the average by a pound or two, I'd take a sharpie and write the error on the dial face.
If it's off by more than a few pounds, I'd buy a new one. I had one of those AutoZone gauges that I used for years... until I found out that it was 6 pounds off. I bought a nice liquid filled unit with a self correcting diaphragm from www.quickcar.net that I like a lot. They're about 40 bucks and pretty popular around the pits. http://www.quickcar.net/tire_mgmt/lq_tire_ga.html |

You mean you can't tell the exact pressure just by looking at a tire?
|
tire places usually can do it for you, goodyear i know does it, seems like michelin and ev1 else should do it too.
i bought a craftsman digital one, havent looked back, very consistent, nice features. works for me. |
