About this deal

This pencil style gauge is of considerably better quality than those for half the price. Where the digital gauges have a readout on a screen, this has increments on the tip. And while a specific value is better, this is still easy to read. Press the air compressor hose onto the valve stem and fill until the right PSI (as per your car’s manufacturer) is shown on the gauge.

Remove the valve dust cap from the tyre valve and place the pressure gauge onto the tyre valve stem The AA5502 was earlier sold online under the model number RPC B31A. Now with a more AA friendly name, the AA 5502 pump also has a lamp built in, with the ability to use it as a torch (always on), a flashing warning to show you’re there and finally a Morse Code style SOS sequence. Poorly maintained tyres can lead to avoidable garage costs and, in the worst-case scenarios, even a breakdown or serious collision. A great gauge with lots to commend it, not least the auto-on function, which fired up as it was connected to the valve. We found it fitted all valves easily and the beep announced a reading, which stayed live for 10 seconds. For most of our readers interested in an AA pump, this is the ideal solution. It’s a marked step up from the basic inflator above, offering simple operation.While it’s possible to drive with a slow puncture, doing so increases the chances of the puncture growing in size and releasing more air. For many drivers it’s tempting to inflate tyres beyond the recommended measurements to delay a future top-up. They usually come with a glue that’s fed through the valve and then drawn to the puncture, acting as a sealant.

If your tyres need inflating, use a suitable pump and avoid over-inflation by adding small amounts of air at a time As a general rule, front tyres will last around 20,000 miles, while those at the rear could last 40,000. Should I get an air compressor? Tyres are designed to be inflated to a specific pressure – that pressure varies from tyre to tyre, but straying from the stated pressure can affect how the car behaves.

A tyre gauge is anessential bit of kit, whether it’s to keep in the car or the garage, and there are lots of different options out there. We tried not to lose the valve caps while we found out which ones are best. The pressure inside your tyres increases as they heat up. If you set your pressures when your tyres are already warm, their pressure will probably be too low. While analogue gauges deliver reliable readings, digital devices are often more accurate because they can often provide pressure readings to the decimal point. They're also easier to read, meaning you're less likely to take an incorrect measurement.
