Motrax Stetho Tyre Pressure Guage

Under pressure!

Advantages: Easy to use, accurate, saves going out to the garage, good value
Disadvantages: None

When you are learning to drive, you tend not to think about the boring bits of actually passing your test and then getting your own car. I remember when I went to buy my first car, my dad was on the phone telling me to ask the salesman about all the boring technical bits, and thank goodness he did because to be honest, I didn't have a clue. Since I've been on the road a lot more, he has been doing his best to educate me in the upkeep of my lovely little Micra and I'm now a dab hand at keeping thinking ticking over and running smoothly. The last thing I learnt to do was check my tyre pressures and how to pump them up, and this little gadget has been invaluable for that particular task! The Halfords LED Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge is a tool you can use at home to help you find out the PSI (Pound per square inch) of your car tyres. It ...

Review of Halfords Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge

QUICK EASY WAY TO CHECK YOUR TYRE PRESSURES

Advantages: SAVES YOU MONEY, FUEL COSTS AND ACCIDENTS
Disadvantages: NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SPARE TYRE IN BOOT

PRESSURE GUARD I was bought this item about a month ago as a present, and can definitely say it works, and has saved me money. Once I installed them on the car, about two weeks later, I had a slow puncture and the clear indicators gave me an almost immediate alert to the fact, which enabled me to get it fixed straight away, without the possibility of having a complete blow out on the motorway which could have caused a nasty accident. Fitting them was quick and literally took seconds for each tyre, and once fitted, they constantly measure the tyre pressure. Most people will tell you that really you should be checking your tyre pressures at least on a weekly basis, but if you are being honest, do you actually do it? Other things seem to take priority, such as you haven't got time, you can't find the pressure gauge, it's a dirty ...

Review of SAMS Innovations Tyre Pressure Guards

Toyo Tyres

Advantages: great tyres
Disadvantages: Hard to find

Toyo are a Japanese Tyre manufacturer that not many people have heard of. Yet to me they are the most sexy looking tyre around, if tyres can be sexy! I mean the tread pattern of course! I had toyos all around on my RS Turbo. The grip level was unreal and the depth of tread great. The tyres on my Tub were standard size 195/50/15's and a tyre that low in profile normally loses a lot of its tread in order to cater for the profile. Not the Toyo. It has a very wide tread pattern. Making a lot of contact with the road while giving it enough play to movce around and keep you stuck down. In the wet, the wide tread allowed the car to tip toe through the water rather than slip and slide through it. They dont just cater for quick cars. You can pick up a nice tyre for your family saloon or hatchback too. The range seems to grow ...
