Tire Pressure Gauge

[Shasta]

Hello fellas,

Any recommendations fro a good tire gauge? 

is there screw types?  Or do you just hold behind the 45 degree stem while testing?

Thanks, Matt

Don't know brand but mine has a round glass cover, needle gage with a pressure release.

Mine looks almost like this.   I think it's a different brand and goes to a higher pressure.

I've found this type to be more accurate than others I've tried.  Holy cow that's a long URL !

That looks like mine but the rubber part on mine is smooth, no gears. Goes to 100 lbs

Acutire electronic (or other such) gauges.

LED screen, some are lit when in use (which helps find the hole in poor light), and accurate to a half pound.

Some form of electronic gauge can be found at most any auto parts store, as Ross mentioned.



Once you get one new, use it to set a tire pressure, then check that pressure with any other old stick and sweep gauges you may have, and throw the inaccurate ones out.  All but a couple of my old ones went in the trash.

Batteries don't do well in cold, so bring them inside in winter.

Thanks!

Matt, have you switched over to metal tire valves ?

If not, I highly recommend it.
You definitely need to support the OEM style valves when checking the pressure.
I agree with the electronic gauges.

I have this one:

It's expensive but I wanted high accuracy.


This one is probably all you really need:

And it's a good bit cheaper.

My electronic ones are in the trash at the landfill.

I got my dial gauge at NAPA... I took three or four out in the parking lot and checked
my tires. They all read the same. Since we're checking pressure in motorcycle tires and
not nuclear containment vessels  I'm satisfied with the one I brought home...

Buy a small one that you will carry with you and use.
Check it against a few at home gauges to see if it is calibrated correctly.
If it is off just make a note on it as to how far off it is.
