Tire Pressure Guage
«

Hello all
I'm looking to get a good air pressure gauge and I really don't know what to look for.
The gauge I had last year somehow was reading 3 to 4 psi low this year. The one I currently have is a el-cheapo which I cracked at the last event. Needless to say I don't trust it anymore. I thought I would get a nice gauge this time around so I don't have to doubt it readings.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thank,
Gunny

You can't go wrong with anything from Longacre or Intercomp. The large-faced gauges
like this one
are nice and easy to read.

Oil-filled gauges are generally more accurate, but come with their own caveats (like being strangely inaccurate if you leave 'em in the sun, or taking FOREVER to show your pressure when it's less than 50-degrees out). There's really no right or wrong answer: you just want solid, repeatable readings.
