What do you suggest to get a reliable reading, as our nearest station is somewhere 2km away, and I don't have an air compressor. Or would that distance be immaterial? TY

 

For basic inflation at home (or while traveling), something like this works reasonably well: Slime tire inflator (#40052). Can run from the car's 12V or cigarette lighter plug. You can set the desired pressure, and the machine will automatically stop once the pressure is reached.

For a good, reliable reading of tire pressure, consider a gauge by G.H. Meiser: Accu-Gage H60X.

If setting at a fueling station's gauge, you could set the pressure to several PSI above your desired setting, head home, then the next morning use a decent gauge to set it exactly yourself (before you start to drive the car that day).

 

Thanks. Will search something similar in our area (not in the US). Isn't the gauge in the Slime accurate enough?

 

GAsierra; posted a couple of good choices, however whatever gauge you get you need to confirm that they are accurate and if not do the math adjusting for their inaccuracy.
