& a set of these maybe


never ending i hear you say

Oh, its ending... i can see the light at the end of that tunnel, rear brakes, fancy dash cluster, respray, done (thats my 40th bday pressie to myself, getting it finished!)............... Got through the last 20 odd years without my own personel tyre inflater. It's only one tyre gone flat'ish, made to look worse by a dodgy gauge.

Bit of a let down I reckon....

Boom boom

Always carry a separate quality tyre pressure gauge and use it. The gauges on pumps are intended as a rough guide, nothing more.
Once you find a good one that calibrates back to any other trustworthy gauge at the same temperature, keep it safe in your glovebox at all times as your reference.
Determine how much each reading reduces pressure by... up to 0.5 psi at 40 psi even if you're quick

LLoydy i have the same sticker.... so what pressure to run i agree with you on 1.8 and 2.1 bar but, my tires look quite "flat" maybe they are not reinforced ? Anyone ?

I have gone for 44psi rear and 40psi front. Still drives fine and tyres don't look over inflated
