a tool used to measure the amount of air in a tire
A tire pressure gauge is a tool used to measure the air pressure inside a vehicle's tires. It helps ensure that the tires are properly inflated, which is important for safety, fuel efficiency, and tire longevity. Tire pressure gauges typically have a dial or digital display that shows the pressure reading in pounds per square inch (psi). To use the gauge, one presses it onto the valve stem of the tire, and the tool provides a reading. Keeping tires at the correct pressure helps improve handling and reduces the risk of tire damage.
