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

Beautiful Design BUT DOA!
Came promptly, well-(over-)packaged. Read 28.1 psi out of the box, just as in the pictures. Stayed that way despite all efforts to zero it or program it per the (micro)instructions. Nice to see the pressure in my kitchen, den and garage including my tires, is ALWAYS 28.1 psi. Light and back-light worked well, reading never changed. Amazon took it back post-paid. Accutire's web page is worthless re customer help. A real shame, as it appears to be well-made. NO stars!

Great Digital Tire Gauge w/ Light
This tire gauge is very well made, and heavy-duty. It feels like it weighs two pounds, and if you drop it, I doubt that it will break. Plus, you can set "target" psi settings, and it will alarm when you fill it to your desired pressure. You won't be disappointed!!!

Nice Gauge - May not be able to get onto your stems
I really like that you set the pressure you want for your tires and it remembers them. Having a couple of vehicles I always want to double check the values, and this is perfect for that.
What is really good about this gauge, is it is big, it has a nice sweeping design and the screen is very easy to read.

Unfortunately the bad with this gauge are the same, due to its size and swoop design I can not use this with my motorcycle. There is just not enough room to get this gauge onto my stems with a decent fit, instead I end up just leaking huge amounts of air and not having any confidence in the reading.

This is a very nice two handed gauge, but it will not work universally and no matter how nice it is, if it can not determine your pressure it is of no use.
