I put some time in today getting these dialed in.
Several back-and-forth between the deflators, gauges (used 3 different ones), air chuck, etc.
Here is the link:
https://www.amazon.com/Real-4X4-Def...&qid=1650049716&sprefix=tire+de,aps,84&sr=8-4
Now these are about $35. 1/3 the cost of Staun brand (highly recommended brand). Figured I’d try them and see.
now from one deflator to the other the best I could get them dialed in was about .5psi. And even at that, at times had to “flick” the deflator to get it to stop deflating completely. I am not sure if this is inherent of the style, or because these are cheaper.
Also between 3 air gauges (one mechanical, one digital Craftsman, and the digital one in the kit), the best I could get between the digital was also.5psi.
so the end result could be 1psi off tire-to-tire.
Close enough for what it’s for? Probably. I’m good with it.
I will probably eventually spend the $100 or so for the Staun’s.
These seem to get the job done, just not super impressed, nor did I expect to be.
time to deflate from 35psi to 14-15psi:
gives you time to get them all on, grab a cold water, check some things, go flick them to make sure you don’t end up lower than you want, etc.
I welcome feedback/suggestions on what the veterans have found to be best for the cost.
I’ve just always went tire-to-tire, with a new rig, wanted something more professional in use, easier and faster.
FWIW, your mileage may vary.
Verdict: decent and gets you close.
I haven’t used the name brand, so not sure if they are faster or more reliable.
for a $65 difference…hard choice but I think I would have went Staun the first time and not been wondering if I bought some junk that isn’t adequate in the long run.
