Having a low tyre pressure would increase the wear and tear of your tyres. One minute you’re peacefully driving by the road and the next you hear a bursting sound of the tyre from the back.
A study by the American NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) proves this point saying that under-inflated are indeed dangerous.
To be safe and sure at all times, have a tyre gauge in the boot of the car/bike. But depending on your flexibility, quality of the product and your usage, Tyre gauges are of two types
- Digital Gauges
- Analog Gauges.
A detailed description of both of these is explained clearly in the buying guide that has been attached to the end of the article.

Best Tyre Pressure Gauges in India
1. Michelin MN-4203 Digital Tyre Gauge (Blue)
First on our list is the Michelin MN-4203, A digital tyre gauge from the house of the 129 years old Michelin Company. The MN-4203 not only measures the tyre pressure but can also measure the tread depth of your tires.
The depth of your tyre’s tread is important for having a good grip while driving on wet, slippery roads or mountainous terrain. The tread depth pin helps measure the accurate depth. New cars have about 8mm tread depth and this depletes as the tyre runs. The tread depth pin helps measure the accurate depth. Change tyres if the tread depth falls below 2mm
This small and compact tool fits comfortably in our palm and even has a large Digital display screen which makes it easier for people who have trouble with the vision to see better.
It can measure pressure units from 5psi to 99 psi (Converted Range:0.35-6.80 Bar/35-680 kPa/0.4-7.00kg/cm2)
It’s variable measuring units make it easier to measure the pressure for people irrespective of which measuring system they are accustomed to.
The automatic On and Off option makes its usage simple. Just plug into the tyre’s air nozzle and watch the pressure of the vehicle.
Pros:
- Tread depth measuring pin
- Automatic on and off power options
- Can easily switched to different measurement units.
- Large display makes it easier to read the measurements
