Tyre pressure measure units

[Rex]

I have wanted to change Tyre pressure readings from bar to psi, even though we have been metric in Australia for a very long time, Tyre pressure is usually measured in psi

On the touchscreen click 'Setup', select 'Display' and then 'Unit settings'

Thankyou much appreciated

Makes me laugh how it displays to 0.1 of a psi

 

[ChrisR]

Thankyou much appreciated

It's the one imperial unit I still hang onto too.

I still find PSI more accurate than bar for tyre pressures.

 

[Rex]

Maybe that's why it's stuck around so long after metric

By the same logic inches would be more accurate than mm!!! NASA must make their space craft to a greater accuracy than the ESA. Hope this is not being taught in schools.

The only thing I measure in bars is chocolate.

Very funny, good one

Perhaps I should clarify. Most analgoue tyre gauges have bar and PSI on them (well, mine do anyway). Typically there are more gradients for PSI than there are for bar, which means it's easier to inflate to an accurate pressure using PSI than bar. Your repsonse makes no sense - we're talking measurements of pressure, not linear distance and I can't see how you concluded that inches would be more accurate than millimetres from my post. Each to their own I guess.

Don't know what gauge you are using but my digital gauge gives accurate readings in psi and bar. My response to your original post does make sense (it was actually making fun of your flawed premise, Rex who replied got the joke). I suggest in future you should be clear in what you post rather than have to re-post to clarify what you mean, and get a sense of humour.

Your right, I like psi , for that reason too,
But it was a funny joke

That's so helpful, thank you for the advice.

This debate could include why in some countries petrol is sold in litres, but fuel consumption is measured in mpg?

My unit settings does not offer Bar to psi change. Any clues?

I just ask Google

0.1 bar is about 1.5 psi.
