Well then I must be "asking for trouble", whatever that must be. I have been pulling trailers since '75 and never had any wear issues and only blew one tire, a Goodyear Marathon. And I do have a TPMS which has not indicated any issue. :C

Well then you're ok, though some refined calibration equip has found some TPMS off by as much as 10% at times...I use a high dollar digital read out that I can also have calibrated, so feel pt=retty good about it,

Look up the spec's on that gauge and let us know the percentage of error. Might be interesting.

It's a commercial digital read out for tires that I can check it's calibration with some pretty sophisticated calibration equipment that I can use ...It's within +/- 2 psi to actual reading.

You still didn't give a brand or the mfg spec's for accuracy. At what pressure was it calibrated?

Haltec Pro Series digital gage...I checked known/verified air pressures of 35 psi 65 psi, 80 psi and 110 psi against what the gage read at these known values.
I didn't check manufactures specs, Gage was recommended by a Quality Engineer in my company's tire division...

It's close enough for me to trust it's accuracy and feel ok with the readings. I just had some helpful insight into the gage I purchased. I also have a slime digital gage that I've used for years, and basing readings from the Haltec to the Slime, The $30 Slime is almost as accurate, close enough to not worry.

It appears I ruffled your feathers from the 3rd. degree I'm getting from you...Don't understand why, no reason for me to lie about a tire pressure gage and how I'm fortunate enough to be able to check it's accuracy..
