Tire Pressure Gauges

[Hedgehog]

Hi Guys,

What's your favourite tyre pressure gauge?


I just reviewed the Oxford Digi but any other suggestions to investigate or your own experiences with this or others would be appreciated. We're a non-profit site - just bikers discussing stuff, so all opinion is welcome.

I know those $1 two-inch-long ones at the auto parts checkout read whacky.

I have a dial gauge I got from NAPA. The NAPA guy let me take several outside
to test, they all read the same. I got one and later compared it to Frank Smoak's
digital gauge, it read the same. I have a 40 or 50 year old stick gauge of my Father's that
I keep in my car - that reads the same too.

My take: ones that are comparable are the ones to use...

Wohoah! Tyre pressure sensors that link to your sat nav!!

What will they think of next..?!

(Perhaps an airbag shaped like Dolly Parton? In which case, can I test it please?)

Dial gauge for me one on each bike and one in my truck.

I use these on both of my bikes, Valk and Wing.  I double check them with a digital unit I got from NAPA and they are very close.

  I would love a Zumo but one is not in the budget.

Lets just say I will NEVER have another Slime Digital. And with that being said it's back to comparing new gages with a master at a tire shop here. RIDE SAFE.

This is what has worked for me:

My only complaint is upside-down viewing of the numbers as the gauge is on the bike's valve stems.  It's cheap, it works, and it seems to be as accurate as the packaging claimed.

I have several types and they all read the same readings. Both bikes carry a stick gauge and I trust them.

Too bad it won't mate up to a 665.

What I don't like are the gauges that require you to press them onto the valve stem. Since the Hondas have a 90' valve stem, when I first took the reading from my tire, I pressed so hard I broke the support off. Left it off for years, until I started reading here about that stem needs that support for a reason.

Now I use a screw on type, which in my case includes the air compressor. I'll never need to worry about breaking that support again.

And as for what it reads, +/- 1-4 PSI, shouldn't make a difference, for the accuracy of different gauges, it is having a "set" point that you maintain (my gauge reads 40 PSI, but yours reads 36 PSI) that does what you want it to do (hard, 2 up, CT, etc).

This has been working very well!

I have a dial gauge that holds the pressure number until you push a button on the side of the gauge. Helps with that awkward spot on the rear tire. Is right on with the gauges my tire guy uses. I got it on Amazon for cheap (well. relatively cheap) It is all brass with a short hose and a rubber tire looking guard around the gauge. Wish I could remember the brand, and the gauge is in the truck, so no help there. It's the only one that looks as described, so should be easy to find.

I have used these for over two years, all of them (3) read them same when checked for comparison.

I prefer a dial gauge with a hose for the bike, with a push button air pressure release and a rubber case/protector.
  I don't like this setup for 4 wheel vehicles, as the gauge can bang around while you are connecting the valve stem and this can cause an inaccurate gauge.
  I have 5 dial type gauges and everyone of them reads different, regardless of what the cost. I took them to a speed shop who only uses calibrated gauges and only one was close to accurate
(2 psi off)  that's the one I now use. It's part of my pre-flight. Pressure checked every time I leave my garage.
