Aussie Invention Takes The Chore Out Of Adjusting Tyre Pressures.

- Matt Raudonikos

THERE’S another one of those clever Aussie inventions that leaves us questioning why anyone didn’t think of this before?

Pressure Perfect takes the simple set-and-apply tyre inflation system that you use at service stations and puts it into a compact unit that can be fitted to any portable 12-volt air compressor or into your 4x4 vehicle.

A 12-volt air compressor and a quality tyre pressure gauge are two pieces of kit any 4x4er should purchase. The varied terrain we cover in 4x4s requires different tyre pressures for optimal driving conditions and protection of the tyres themselves, so it pays to keep tabs on what’s going on inside your tyres.

Designed and made in Melbourne, the Pressure Perfect module can be mounted directly to your compressor, or in your engine bay or elsewhere on your 4x4. The module has an LCD readout screen and simple up and down buttons that can be used to set the desired tyre pressure. When the set pressure is reached, an audible beep – loud enough to be heard from the other side of the vehicle – sounds. This is just like the systems you find in most service stations, and it gives accurate and easy-to-use tyre pressure adjustment.
