Michelin Programmable Digital Tire Gauge Question

[maxisiri]

Hi! Question about this Michelin tire gauge, when it says it´s programmable, you mean that you set a desire tire preasure in PSI and it pumps/releases air until you get the pressure you set? I don´t think it can be able to pump but I ask to make sure....What I think this programmable tire gauge can do is release air until you get the desired pressure.

Can someone that has this tire gauge or AG CS can clarify me this?

Thanks!

The gauge doesn't actually serve any mechanical function in terms of air pressure. It simply reads the pressure, and the "programmable" aspect of is to store the recommended tire pressure.

Notice the psi reading on the top, and the "target" psi on the bottom.

Matt, thanks for your quick reply!!!! Do you have any tire gauge that releases pressure until you get to the desired value? Thanks!!!

[Matt S.]

Nope, sounds like a good idea but I'm not sure if such a thing exists!

Matt, I think it´s a very easy and nice feature....you know accutire guys...just advise them to go for this idea and we share a 50/50 ja!!!
Thanks!!!

could it also be a way to add in the last pressure read, thus you can tell if losing tire pressure over time ??

Nice idea Scott...ok...lets do 33% each, Matt you and me...ja!!! :xyxthumbs: May be Accutire can help us and build one...
