    I just use one of these. Clip it on the valve stem then press the air bleed button (near thumb) till I reach desired pressure.

    Airing up is the same process, just attach to air supply and use trigger to inflate.

    For fun I topped up my tires during the cold snap with my little hand pump for bicycle since I didn't want to deal with the cold air hose lol. It actually wasn't too bad for a few pounds, ~20-30 pumps. Felt like I was a tire pressure artist.

    For TPMS, is it usual for most TPMS to be calibrated for sea level at the factory? My two sets are all reading ~4lbs less than a barometric gauge. I have two digital gauges and they read the same.

    Car sitting in driveway may have higher starting pressures for tires that have been in the sun.
    This fails to keep me up at night.

    It’s a lot easier to buy a vehicle without TPMS or remove the TPMS and just have a single warning light of evenness for your OCD.

    LoL!
    I used to AutoX where a bunch of the people knew enough to realize that tire pressure was important and some had even bought fancy, digital gauges.
    But they were obsessed with trying to maintain the cold pressure... Like, it's July and you drive your car here and then you absolutely bagged on your tires for two solid minutes, so rushing around your car while your brakes are still smoking, is not going to shave time of your next lap.

    Just do this



    Also, I tried something similar with a 4L milk jug, just to see if it could be done.

    It exploded at about 20psi

    I didn't watch the video to see if he mentions it, but a standard valve stem hole is 25/64" drill bit
