Pressure of karting tyres is a very important parameter for finetuning a kart; the right pressure enables you to make the most of the tyres and avoid excessive wear during a race. So, you can see how pressure is really an important factor for kart set up. In particular track conditions, the right tyre pressure helps you to get winning results, differently it can ruin the tyres in a matter of a few laps. Just think, when you test the vehicle on a wet circuit. You must have different pressure for such conditions.

Here you work with very low tyre pressure and with a 0.01 bar difference between each wheel; when the tyre is cold, different pressure is set so as to get best pressure and the same value when they've heated up, so that the wheels work in the same way and don’t unbalance kart response. From such simple ideas Prism Electronics has designed a digital gauge that enables you to get the above-mentioned set up accurately. A Ietterwith 0.01 bar and a chance to memorise on a display the pressure values when the tyre is cold and after having been warmed up for a total of 15 tests. This way tyre pressure can be kept under control during test runs and you can see kart behaviour immediately. This is a very practical solution during tests; for example when the kart returns to the paddock the driver can check the pressure himself. All you have to do is memorize it in the manometer and after the mechanic can assess how they've worked.

Another important feature is the calibration; the Hiprema pressure gauge doesn't need any calibration. Each time you switch it on the software in the manometer carries out the operation automatically and accuracy is checked; this thanks to electronic modern technology and a pressure sensor suitable for motor sport application
