Default Tire Gauge

I was wondering what everyone is using for a tire gauge, trying to stay with a dial type, had a digital one, but wasn't happy with it, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have used a good quality dial gauge. Always check pressure when tires are cold. I check mine in the garage first thing in the morning. I have a portable air Compressor so that if it's low I can add a couple of pounds

Same here. Analog dial gauge. Spot on accuracy. About 10 bucks or so.

Digital. I check in the morning when tires are cold. The gage and DIC show exactly the same pressure so I don't know how you could ask for anything better.

Look for accu gauge brand. Very accurate and not costly. I have been using this brand for more than 30 years, their analog one which sells at sears.

What is more accurate than the gage and DIC showing the same pressure?

Thanks

I've used the DIC over the years, and used a tread depth gauge to figure our what pressure on my DIC gives even wear. Coincidentally, it is 30 psi for my vette.

I've got a double-headed pencil-style pocket-clip gauge I found on the ground somewhere about 25 years ago, it's solid metal, they probably don't make that kind of quality anymore. Never let me down.

Longacre 52053. Highly accurate, easy to use, holds pressure reading until released, usable on high pressure bicycle tires. 17 inch hose makes it easy to use. Large readable dial, rubber guard protects the guage from drops.

I use an old Meiser analog gauge. Very accurate. I have had this for at least 25 years. Brass construction. I check it periodically to make sure that it's accurate.

I use this digital talking gauge. I don't remember where I bought it, but it works well and is accurate.



And when I need to add air, I have this:
