PSA: get a good tire gauge
My old tire gauge was not accurate. I didn't realize how much difference 5 PSI can make (I was running 40 instead of 35).
On summer tires it wasn't too noticeable but when I switched to winters I was shocked how badly the car handled. Here are some symptoms: - Back end feels unstable under high speed braking. - Steering is too light and twitchy. - On wet road the car slides in sharp turns even without throttle input. - Traction control interferes when accelerating in all gears (actually it was happening more at highway speeds in 6th gear) This is what I got - https://www.amazon.ca/Joes-Racing-32...ct_top?ie=UTF8 0-60 PSI gives it more precision than 0-100. The bleeder valve works really well. This model doesn't have a "hold" function but I don't feel it's important on gauges with long hose. |

Longacre are the only gauges I'll use from now on.
