    ... Good quality and accurate tyre infiltrator.

    I have a old Michelin tyre infiltrator that I keep in the back of the car which is died. it's not accurate so want something that is. I have a Portable power pack I keep in the garage which is idea for trackdays and working at home. but I often check mum and grans cars when out as they have no idea what to do :rolleyes: Plus checking the caravan tyres.

    Is there such as thing as a quality and accurate tyre infiltrator that's not going to cost mega ££££

    Any ideas

    My Michelin one is accurate only had it about 4 years but has stayed good in that time, you are doing a reset each time you use it aren't you? Otherwise it will be out

    Michelin digital foot pump very accurate plus you don't need a 90 degree adaptor to fit on the tyre.

    As I said as i check my mum and grans cars I really don't fancy having to take their cars every time when I could just do it as there (they live next to each other) in one go

    Not sure what a "tyre infiltrator" is... some sort of probing device?!?

    Anyway, assuming you mean pressure guage, the following may help:- Best tyre pressure gauge 2014: group test | Auto Express

    If you're after a pump, I've always been advised to buy any pump, as the guages on the pumps are never very accurate... and to buy a good pressure guage to check separately.
