(Transportation-News.com, June 05, 2014 ) Peoria, Arizona -- D K Ventures AZ (DKVAZ) today announced the newest addition to its practical power tool offerings: The Tire-Pro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge and 4 In 1 Safety Tool. The Tire-Pro is now available in the retailer's online store. Much more accurate than an analog car tire pressure gauge, the Tire-Pro boldface digital display instantly and clearly shows an exact tire pressure reading, eliminating any guesswork.
With pressure readings ranging from .5 to 150 psi (pounds per square inch), the Tire-Pro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is universally compatible. The multifunction tool can be used on smaller tires for motor scooters or bicycles and will double as a motorcycle tire pressure gauge and even an RV tire pressure gauge, where extra sensitivity is needed when carrying heavy loads.
Tire Pressure as a Matter of Safety
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), [tire] under inflation leads to poor fuel economy, sluggish handling, longer stopping distances, and increased stress to tire components.
Additionally, the NHTSA's Crash Causation Survey found that 1 in 11 (or 9% of) crashes can be attributed to tire issues, such as under-inflation, tread separations, blowouts and bald tires.
Ultimately, "routine tire care should be part of your overall accident prevention strategy," adds DKVAZ company founder David Fyke. But in the event of an accident or other emergency, the Tire-Pro Digital Tire Pressure Gauge bonus tools are designed to help occupants cut a jammed seat belt or break out a window and escape a vehicle to safety.
Fyke offers these important reminders for drivers during the upcoming summer road trip season:
* Check tire pressure each month, because tires can lose 1 to 2 pounds of pressure monthly
* Check tire pressure before driving vehicle to keep tire heat to a minimum and ensure an accurate reading, because air pressure is heat sensitive, and tires can lose 1 psi for every 10 degrees
* Remember to re-fasten tire valve caps to protect valve stems from corrosion and debris
He also warns drivers that the inflation number listed on the tire represents the maximum inflation pressure, not the recommended pressure level. The correct air pressure may be found in several places, including the vehicle owner's manual or on the tire placard found in the vehicle door edge, doorpost, glove box or fuel door.
Lastly and most importantly says Fyke, "Become familiar with your auto tire pressure gauge and Safety Tool to ensure fast and efficient use, and store it a location that is easy to reach."
