What is the name of the instrument used to measure the inflation pressure of the tires?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the pressure gauge (often referred to as a manometer in technical contexts). This is the device specifically designed to accurately check the air pressure inside the tires. Key points for the exam: Pressure should be checked periodically (at least once or twice a month) and always when the tires are cold. If measured when the tires are hot, the air expands, and the gauge will give a false (higher) reading. Terms like 'inflometer' or 'presiometer' are not the correct technical terminology for the measuring tool.
