    What is it about tire pressure in China? No one has a simple pressure gauge, and no stores seem to sell them. All I find in the automotive shops are these big contraptions the size of a hand pump. Nowhere can I find those pen-shaped gauges that are so universal elsewhere. Anyone know where to buy these? I'm in the awkward position of having no idea of the pressure in my tires right now.
