Need a good tire gauge

[BlueLibby04]

Here is the one I use. I got it at radio shack but Ive seen it at sears also. I believe its around $8-10.

I also have a Longacre tire gauge/inflater. Works very good and it accurate to the .5 lbs.

I have the same Accutire gauge as BlueLibby and it works fine. Always spot on with the pressure monitoring system in my car but I have THIS on my list.

I just picked up a Craftsman digital tire guage. Its got a lighted screen, LED flashlight on it, and just plain rocks. I`m glad I bought it.

Back in the 80`s when I worked at a full service gas station (remember those!) we used Milton tire gauges, they were good, now I have a snap on dial type with hose I inherited (really) and el cheapos pencil type from wallyworld in every car, they work better than not haveing one in the car.

I use an Intercomp dial gauge on the street and track. Repeatable and durable. :2thumbs:

Bingo - exactly what I was talking about! I love this one :up

This is an old thread, but I wanted to add another positive comment for the Moroso gauge. I like dial-type gauges with bleed valves, and the Moroso has a larger dial and better fit onto the valve stem than others I`ve tried. It is a little pricey when compared to cheap gauges, but it is well-built, accurate and easy to use. If you get one, get the rubber cover, too.

My digital AccuTire gauge died (not just its batteries, it *died*) and at that point I didn`t know which of my many gauges to believe as they all gave different readings :think:



A few days later I was training at Tony Scotti`s Vehicle Dynamics Institute where they were using AccuTire (analog) gauges; our class had five gauges that gave identical readings. After discussing it with the staff I thought "good enough for me" and ordered a pair of them. These two disagreed not only with each other (slightly) but also with *all* of my other gauges! Nonplussed, I sent `em back with a letter and promptly got two replacements. Said replacements were individually calibrated and came with their test sheets and an explanatory letter from AccuTire, and I`m very happy with them.



FWIW, *none* of my other gauges gives the same readings as these two, which makes me think that truly accurate gauges might be less common that I`d expected. (The tire monitoring systems on my vehicles have never had sufficient accuracy to use as a baseline.)

The best tire gauge is the AmazonBasics Programmable Digital Tire Gauge



Purchased 3 of these digital tire gauges after going online looking at reviews and thought this one would be the best for my usage. Glad I chose this model. It is easy to use and also has a nice carrying case. The price was good enough for me to give the other two as gifts. I give it a thumbs up.

Meh, I hate digital gauges. The batteries die then corrode the insides. I really like the Gorrilla TG1 from amazon. Simple, accurate and it will live for decades.

Like Dan, I prefer analog gauges (for almost anything, IMO humans are analog creatures), but I`m curious-

The best tire gauge is the AmazonBasics Programmable Digital Tire Gauge

What makes it "best" in your opinion and what` "programmable" about it?
