Tire pressure gauge recommendations?



Digital better than dial? What are your experiences? I have two dial types; one by Brookstone and the other is the Tequipment Porsche. They don't match when reading pressures on the same tire___off by a pound. Recs please.

if the analog gauage if old can get out of wack if dropped and not treated well, digital generally doesn't suffer from that problem. I would invest in a longacre digital gauge that will be the most accurate.

I’ll represent the other side of the coin Intercomp-Racing.

With this liquid-filled gage or w/o liquid .

My $15.00 digital Radio Shack and my older Intercompand my even older 'no name' model read exactly the same. The TPMS is 4 pounds under all of them so which is correct? I'm not sure I belive any of them.

Swamp - I use one of these: Intercomp liquid-filled analog gauge...



http://www.cdoc.com/detail.asp?id=11565&name=



It is resonably priced, and deadly accurate. At the Portland Parade, I tested it against the in-line air gauge they had at the Michelin tires trailor, and it matched theirs to the pound. It even has a little plug under the rubber case to re-set the atmospheric pressure to what height you are above sea level.

Altitude adjustment, hmm. I reset the TPMS by letting it learn in its new 7000' home but I never thought about the guages!

Brad,


I couldn't pull up thelink you referenced___'unable to display message'. Is yours the same as the liquid filled that Zornet linked to? Intercomp 360067, 2.5 inch display, with a blue bumper?

I've used the Accutire MS-5510 digital & it is indeed an accurate & easy to read tire gauge, but it is a time consuming process to bleed air since (1) the display doesn't update & (2) it takes several seconds to clear & get a new reading. I prefer other gauges. However if someone is interested there are far less expensive sources. E.g.,
