Maintaining Control, Mile After Mile

Underinflated tires can lead to a cascade of problems. They increase rolling resistance, which translates to lower fuel economy. Additionally, improper inflation can cause uneven tire wear, leading to premature replacement. More importantly, underinflated tires can compromise handling and stability, especially in critical situations like braking or cornering.

The AOR Analog Tire Gauge is your trusted companion for maintaining optimal tire pressure. Its easy-to-use design allows for quick and accurate pressure readings, empowering you to ensure your vehicle performs at its peak and prioritize safety on every journey.

Key Features of the AOR Analog Tire Gauge :

• Built to Endure: made with high-quality materials, the AOR Analog Tire Gauge is built to last, withstanding everyday wear and tear.
• Easy-to-Read Dial: The clear and concise analog dial features bold markings and a pressure range suitable for most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
• Angled Head: The angled head provides a comfortable grip and allows for easier access to valve stems, especially on low-profile tires or vehicles with tight wheel wells (less than 15 cm / 5.9 inches).
• Pressure Release Button: The integrated pressure release button allows you to quickly bleed off excess air for precise pressure adjustments.
• Protective Rubber Boot (Optional): Some models may include a protective rubber boot to safeguard the gauge from scratches and bumps during storage.

Taking Precise Measurements: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface and ensure the tires are cool to the touch. Ideally, measure pressure before driving or after a short drive when the tires haven’t had time to heat up significantly.
2. Locate the valve stem on your tire. It’s usually located near the rim of the wheel.
3. Unscrew the dust cap from the valve stem.
4. Firmly press the AOR Analog Tire Gauge onto the valve stem. You should hear a hissing sound as air fills the gauge.
5. Hold the gauge in place for a second or two to allow for an accurate reading.
6. Read the pressure measurement on the dial. Compare it to the recommended PSI (pounds per square inch) for your specific vehicle, typically found on a sticker inside the driver’s door jamb or owner’s manual.
7. If the pressure is too low, add air using an air compressor or inflation pump. If it’s too high, press the pressure release button on the gauge to slowly bleed out air.
8. Re-check the pressure and repeat steps 5-7 until you reach the recommended PSI.
9. Replace the dust cap on the valve stem.

   Additional Tips for Maintaining Optimal Tire Pressure :

• Check your tire pressure regularly, at least once a month and before long trips.
• Pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes. Aim to inflate tires when they are cool for the most accurate reading.
• Consider investing in a portable air compressor for on-the-go adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions: AOR Analog Tire Gauge

Q: What is the pressure range of the AOR Analog Tire Gauge?

A: The AOR Analog Tire Gauge typically has a pressure range of 0-100 PSI (0-6.9 bar), which caters to most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks.

Q: What is the accuracy of the AOR Analog Tire Gauge?

A: The AOR Analog Tire Gauge is designed for general use and offers a reliable indication of tire pressure. While accuracy can vary slightly between models, most gauges boast an accuracy of +/- 2 PSI (+/- 0.14 bar).

Q: Does the AOR Analog Tire Gauge feature a pressure bleed valve?

A: No, the AOR Analog Tire Gauge relies on a simple pressure release button on the gauge itself for controlled air release. This allows for user-controlled deflation for more precise adjustments compared to a fixed pressure bleed valve.

What is the difference between an analog and a digital tire gauge?

A: Analog gauges, like the AOR Analog Tire Gauge, use a dial with a needle to display pressure readings. They are generally more affordable and simpler to operate. Digital gauges, on the other hand, display pressure electronically on a screen. They can offer additional features like pressure history or backlighting but tend to be more expensive.

Q: How can I care for my AOR Analog Tire Gauge to ensure its longevity?

A: Here are some tips for maintaining your AOR Analog Tire Gauge:

• Avoid dropping the gauge or subjecting it to excessive shocks.
• Store the gauge in a cool, dry place when not in use. The optional protective rubber boot can offer additional protection.
• Avoid exposing the gauge to extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
• If the gauge seems inaccurate, consult the manufacturer’s instructions for recalibration procedures. (Note that some models might not be user-calibrated).
