Best digital tire gauge

**DNC** · 02-14-2009, 11:56 PM

Hi, I am looking for a good digital tire gauge. In the past I have purchased one, not a cheap one, from Griot`s Garage but it`s readings are never consistent. The readings vary too much to be accurate. Has anyone had any luck with finding a good one? Thanks.

Take a look at your local Taget. Ipurchased a accutire digital tire gauge for $14 and it is very good and consistant.

I found one at my local BJ`s Works well however for some people, they may like one that has a separate "hose" to get into tight places.

Same as this one:

I do not know if you are dead set on digital. I bought a good quality analog (round face) gauge from Sporty`s Aviation Supply. It`s well made, perfectly calibrated and has worked without fail for the last 8 years.

My Accutire digital gauge seems to work pretty well. Seems consistent with other gauges.

I`ve seen a couple of comprehensive reviews on tire gages and the whiz-bang digitals always score the lowest. The best gage appears to be the Bourdon Tube type, listed above. The old $2 pencil style also faired very well.

I`ve got gages of all three types and can confirm the digital one is the most inaccurate. My unit came from Tire Rack, it`s off by 2 - 3psi.

I`ve been using the AccuGage units for 10 yrs or so. They don`t do well when dropped. AccuGage seems to offer a free lifetime calibration of their gages. They`re very good.

I think you can buy AccuGage, a cheaper one, at Advance Auto Parts. They have a very broad range of designs and chuck styles.

Thanks to all who responded to my posting in a search for a good tire pressure gauge. Thanks to PC for sending me the $500 to buy the gauge he recommended.:laugh:

I received a link to an article the rest of you might find interesting. I am sharing it with you below. Thanks.
