For those that donā€™t know: Temperature: Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. Pressure(of air or other gas, in a tire or otherwise): PSI: Most common in North America kPa: Kilopascals, in Europe, elsewhere. Tires are not set to ā€œ37 degreesā€. šŸ™„ The correct terminology would be 37 PSI. ---

I wanted to type TPMs. Things can be a bit challenging on the iPhone. But anyways, thanks for offering to help just in case. ---

If no air is added or lost, tire pressure increases as temp goes up The only tire gauges I have kept are the round brass Meisner Accugauge they sent me for free because they could not send me the parts to re-seal the one bought 60 years ago and the digital Accugauge I bought 15 years ago All 3 of those gauges read identically the 60 year old one would no longer hold pressure once I removed it from tje tire ---

> [@Clueless33](#): > > [the Car Talk forums] can be a bit challenging on the iPhone. No dispute. Ask me how I know ā€¦ lol ā€¦ A few years ago I had to use my smart phone to surf the web, and I recall one time it took me 2 hours just to figure out how to type the underscore ā€œ\_ā€ key on the cell phone. And I donā€™t think I could do it again. ---

I donā€™t remember who I was trying to deal with but got the press 1 for this etc. got to the end and couldnā€™t put the correct character in. I finally gave up. Finally used a land line. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/how-did-this-come-to-be/195053.md?page=2)
