You can use a dual foot "stick" or "Dial" for the rears. I would get the readings on both fronts with the digital. Then use the dual foot gauge to also check both fronts. This will confirm the accuracy of the dual foot gauge. If it is good you can then use it to check the rear duals. If it is bad you can still "adjust" for that day but you need to get e new dual foot gauge if it is off by more than a few gauges.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-8746058309210729922013-09-14T12:25:01.151-07:002013-09-14T12:25:01.151-07:00I am sure your digital gauges provide more accurac...I am sure your digital gauges provide more accuracy than my dial gauge but how do I fit the digital gauge into the small wheel opening on my class A and get a reading from a valve stem which points toward the inside of the wheel?<br /><br />JerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-11940522940474595402013-09-14T11:20:25.637-07:002013-09-14T11:20:25.637-07:00I use exactly the same thought process in my exper...I use exactly the same thought process in my experience with readings...when I first got the tpms system I was a bit taken back by the fact that it was not as accurate as my gauge. I called the manufacturer and they said the tolerances where good....basically learn to deal!! They did not say that, I did. It has warned me on occasion of a tire going down to 65 psi which is my warning range and if you where to look at the tire would have never seen it. They are a warning system but I must say at first a distraction in the differences of the readings to actual pressure gauge readings. Sometimes I worry when on a long trip in hot areas the temps and pressure go up into the 90s or more on a tire rated for max pressure of 80...but have never had a problem. Does teach you how much cause and affect driving and weight can affect the tires. I like yourself have always found the average person in everyday life totally ignoring their car tires and unless they visually look bad never do a thing with them. I am the pain in the rump to my family about checking the pressure but not sure they all pay attention. I have my own compressor at home and a portable one in the RV as it is tough to find one that works at a Gas Station.
