New Tire Safety Gauge Allows for Easy Walk-around, At-A-Glance Tire Pressure Safety Check

    HOUSTON--Sept. 28, 1998--The upcoming change in seasons can greatly affect the rate at which tires lose air - the leading cause of tire failure.
    The Tire Industry Safety Council says changes in outdoor temperature can cause tire pressure loss from one to two pounds in cooler weather to even more in warmer weather. A recently introduced product - the Tire Pressure At-A-Glance Tire Safety Gauge, shows at a glance with convenient color coding whether your pressure is at the recommended level or if it needs additional pressure.
    The new Tire Pressure At-A-Glance Tire Safety Gauge easily hand screws on to each tire's valve stem; staying in place while continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire. Convenient red-yellow-green color coding provides fast visual proof if each tire's PSI is in the normal range.
    Anyone can quickly walk around the vehicle and see if the PSI is in the correct range. RED means the tire pressure is more than 8 PSI below proper pressure and should be inflated immediately for safety concerns. YELLOW means the tire pressure is 4-8 PSI below proper pressure and should be inflated to ensure safe and proper function. GREEN means the tire pressure is in good condition. The Tire Safety Gauge is available in pressure ratings of: 26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40 and 50 PSI which fits most makes and models of cars, motorcycles, light duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, recreational vehicles, golf carts and more.
    A set of four Tire Pressure At-A-Glance Tire Safety Gauge's retail for $19.95 plus shipping and handling. For more information on how to order this product, Call 2U International, (800)801-9361 or visit our web site at http://www.2uall.com.
