Actual psi vs. computer's psi? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My computer states all my tires are at 37 after I had the computer re-learn. Had the car filled up today & the lady checking it w/ a manual tire gauge says they're all at 35. Is this a problem? Thoughts here?

Yes, I'm ocd about this car!

Personally I don't expect accurate readings, but I do want consistent. So check with another gauge and for a bit pay attention, if the computer is always 2psi high then it isn't a problem. Now if the computer reads 2 low one week and 2 high the next week, that is too much.

Checked/filled mine last evening. It was off a pound here and there. After filling them all to 36, the DIC read 35 for all 4. I use it as a guide, not absolute.

maybe her gauge was off. the 5 dollar ones get beat up pretty easily and canget out of calibration. dont worry about 2 lbs

I have 3 gauges and they are all different. I think the computer is pretty close though

My tire gauge reads 38 and the computer reads 34. I think my tire gauge is accurate based on the the ride and handling of the car, meaning if I pumped more air into the tires to the point where the computer reads 36, the ride gets much stiffer.
