Tire pressure guage
 
My old Moroso unit is MIA, so I'm in the market for a new one. Any upsides/downsides to a quality digital? In a manual guage...liquid filled or not? I'm interested in repeatability more than anything.

Thanks! -Al

Alan - I use the same Blue Point (Snap-On) gauges I've had for over twenty years. Tried the digital and just don't trust them...the old dials have never lied to me. I have three...0-15, 0-30 and 0-100 and use the one where my intended psi falls somewhat in the middle of the gauge's capability for the most accuracy.

you don't want a liquid filled pressure gauge whether it's a fuel pressure or tire pressure because the liquid is glycerin and it's viscosity is temperature sensitive.

speedwaymotors.com has a large selection of gauges. I bought the Intercomp # 360059. It's a 4 inch glow in the dark 0-30 PSI. Hope this helps.

Upside to a digital is being able to check both front and rear.

Consistency is the key; the reading is relative most of the time.
