Need to invest in a good accurate air pressure gauge and was just curious what everyone is using. Thanks

Longacre...here: http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...d=1118&catid=8

I use a Longacre as well.

Things to make sure of, in my experience:

-No need for a gauge that reads to 150psi! Get one that maximizes the importance given to the 0-60 psi range as this is what you will be using. This way, readings will be more precise.

-Bleed valve so you can remove pressure while checking it efficiently.

-Long flexible hose to get to any position. Especially important for bikes...

-Rubber coating so that it doesn't get damaged as easily when you drop it.

I have a Joe's Racing gauge.

Longacre here as well.

Bleed valve is nice on it, the thing is easy to read and while we don't normally need it at an autocross, it glows in the dark too.

Here is the best one I have found. It is a little expensive, but, it reads in 0.1 lb increments, and is easy to use. This is by far the best guage I have found so far.

Use the same gauge all the time. Since most gauges will read a little different, minimize that by using the same one each time. When you start jumping around using various gauges, you'll stat getting different reading and adjusting when it's not necessary. In fact, you may be introducing errors when there were none.

Don't drop the gauge. Get one with a rubber cover, that offers some protection.

That is what I got after I found out my old one was running for lbs lower than it read. $20 bucks at amazon iirc. It is wrapped in bigger rubber with bleed off valve and a 360* turning nozzle.

The equivalent gauge is the Accutire MS-5510B Racing Tire Gauge.

Great info.... I didn't know that it was available under another name. great way to save a few bucks. Although I will say that the Griots version of the gauge is very nice.

Accuracy is an interesting concept. GRM did a test of several gauges some time ago (last year?), and the cheapo digital gauges did a better job against their reference than the analog gauges, *almost* regardless of price. I think (as has been mentioned above) that using the same gauge (to stay consistent) is more important than it's accuracy.

I do like the Joe's Racing gauge, that's a nice piece for not much money.

Y'all are dangerous to my budget!

Have a good one,

Longacre works well for me. Usually within 1 lb of my TPMS (when they work).
