- Tire gauges for air pressure, as well as most other gauges used in an industrial environment take into account the pressure due to the atmosphere of the Earth. That's why your car gauge reads 0 before you put it on your tire to check your pressure. This is called gauge pressure. The real pressure within a tire or other object containing pressurized stuff would be a combination of what the gauge reads as well at the atmospheric pressure. If a gauge on a tire reads 13.55 psi, what is the real pressure in the tire in pascals?
