Hi chaps

I'm hoping some of you chaps might have some solutions to my issue. 

I have a Ring RTC6000 air compressor that I use to set the tyre pressures. This worked perfectly until I had Advanced TPMS fitted to the car a few months ago. It seems the valve on the air compressor is that little bit too short as when I put air into the tyres and then unscrew it, air leaks out too quickly to complete the unscrewing action resulting in slightly too low tyre pressures - should be 36psi on front and 32psi at rear but when I do this, and then check the Advanced TPMS pressures, they are at 32psi front and 30psi at rear, not what I wanted to see! I've had a look at the TPMS valve stems and compared to a normal tyre valve stem they're quite short which might be the problem.

 

Has anyone ever come across this issue and if so, was there a solution?

 

Thanks,

Alex

 

 

 

 

Hello Alex,

I have found Ring appliances to be better than most, but I would never depend on pressure gauges used on any brand. 
Solution:- By yourself a c£10 digital tyre pressure gauge from Halfords, inflate the tyres to a few p.s.i. over the required pressure and reset with the digital gauge - which is capable of controlled deflation.

Job sorted!

Gareth. 

Neat solution! Is it this one: https://www.halfords.com/tools/garage-equipment/breakdown-essentials/halfords-digital-tyre-pressure-gauge-944827.html ? 

No, c£10 now equals £12.50 ( this country is down the pan!) 

Product code 239116. Also acts as a tread gauge. 

Hi Gareth

😆😆😆 Don't I know it! 

Got it, thanks. I'll pick one up soon. 

Thanks,

Alex
