App tyre pressure readings.

I manage to park in broken glass and doesn’t look like I got a flat but I am curious if the app tyre pressure readings are accurate when the car is off. Ie can I monitor it through the app.

Does anyone know?

As far as I know, the app will give you the last reading it had before you turned the car off. In any case, you have to drive maybe a quarter of a mile or more before the system will register a change in pressure, so it's not good for spotting a blow-out, or for registering a tyre that went flat while the car was parked.

Yeah I thought that might be the case. Fingers crossed I will be ok.

You could always use a manual tyre pressure gauge to check before you drive off.

Yeah I carry a battery pump in the car for emergencies with a gauge.

It was more could I monitor over the evening and see if it was going flat.

We went out for a walk and I used the very accurate kick the tyre test and it looks fine
