Default Digital Tire Pressure Gauge

Anyone have a recommendation for a very accurate tire pressure gauge? Where to buy?

It is not digital, however, I have been using a Moroso Pro Series for years and have been quite happy with it. Used on everything from my RX at the house to cars at the track.

A variation of it is sold by Amazon, though for non-track use I would think you could get by with the less expensive model:

While I have not looked recently, I was never able to find a digital one I was happy with. If you are interested in digital only, I do know someone who uses a JEGS brand and is happy with it. I think this is the one:

Griot's Garage usually carries good stuff, perhaps a bit overpriced, and they have this one as well which is digital:

Thanks RX330. That Moroso gauge looks like it might be just what the doctor ordered.

I have one that's a non-digital, it works. Had them for years. I check my tire pressure every 2 weeks. I always end up putting in a psi or 2.

Do not buy the cheapos. BM Auto stores have quite a few of them.

I have used an analog gauge made by ARB for several years now. It's very accurate. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tools/Dia...t_pn=ARBARB508

Thanks mandy and willybob. I'll have a look at those. I never thought I'd have to look into the gauge accuracy in any depth until my recent spare tire/tire pressure warning sensor episode. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

sure!

i've found that a quality analog gauge has been much more accurate and more durable than the digital ones i've owned over the years
