    +/- 1 PSI is an acceptable tolerance.

    I always pump my own tires using a shop compressor. Then I use an Accutire digital tire gauge (it's voted to provide very accurate results).

    My TPMS is reading around 0.5 PSI higher than the Accutire.... it's a little hard to tell. The TPMS does not show decimal values.

    I removed all of the lock nuts on the external sensors today after encountering difficulty removing one of them. It was made of brass and got corroded, probably because our dog loves to pee on the tires hehe. Took me some time to get it off because I did not want to damage the tire valve.

    Next time, apply a little silicone spray around the valve stem prior to screwing on the lock-nut and sensor.

    I actually used silicone grease. The lock nut also got stuck on the external sensor housing and not the valve stem.
