Default Need a tire pressure gauge

What does everyone use? I'm starting to loose faith in my current gauge. I'm leaning towards digital.

I use this Joes Racing one - works great, reliable, reasonably priced and easy to use.

I have one of those 12v tire inflators I keep in the trunk. It has a gauge and I can fill up the tires anywhere as long as the engine is running.

I use an InterComp gauge. A little pricy, but very accurate. With my air compressor I use this:

Interesting mix.. Was hoping for the 'last tire gauge you'll ever buy'. This brand came up on a car and driver list, but I always feel like those are sponsored: http://www.longacreracing.com/produc...Gauge+0-60+psi

I have one too and I keep (2) other gauges in my trunk but they all read 1-2 PSI apart. Was hoping for an accurate one since I'm semi-OCD.

Interesting topic... im interested in what the track guys are using. I know that the $2 gauges will get the job done, but for serious track guys, a half a pound pressure difference can throw the dynamic of the car off.

i use a digital one that also verbally tells me what the psi is. convenient but not really worth the extra 15 bucks.

I second on the Joes Racing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003TQ2W44/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Been using this gauge everytime I hit the track. Very easy to read, use and I noticed it being much more accurate than a high range gauge that's on my compressor tire inflator.

If you will track your car, this is a must have tool along side the tire temperature probe.

PSI Range ~ The most important decision is to get a gauge that works within the pressure range of the tires that you will be using the gauge on. For example, if you run 30 psi in your tires then you should get a 60 psi gauge. If you run 15 psi then you should get a 30 psi gauge. All tire gauges work best in the middle of their range.

I've had a digital PCL Accura inflator for years and love it. Love how I can also release pressure and get readings so I don't let too much air out as it goes down. Pricey but worth it IMO. Bought one for my hard to please dad and he loves it too.
