Re: What's your favorite tire pressure gauge, and why?
I realize that a stick is a very different animal, but my #1 car uses a transbrake on 9" tires and I usually only check the tires before the first and second pass of the day. I've never seen it to matter that much on any of my stuff.

If my gauge tells me that my tire pressure is 27 psi, and 9 other gauges read within a quarter of a pound of 22 pounds, what do I care what my gauge reads, as long as my 27 pounds always corresponds to the 22 pounds seen on all the other gauges? If, every time I check my tire pressure, I see 27 pounds, I know I'm right where I need to be. The only legitimate concern is that I might worry because I don't know the ACTUAL tire pressure, but the whole point of this discussion is that I really NEVER know the perfect pressure, because there is always variation in gauges. Kinda like the outdoor thermometers on bank signs... |

Re: What's your favorite tire pressure gauge, and why?
My Moroso 0-60 dial gauge is six pounds off other gauges both my slide one and the local tire shops. Moroso will read 34 and everyone else is at 40. Can the Moroso gauge be recalibrated? I can see a pound off but not six.

I have a Moroso lighted gauge I've had for years that works pretty good,.I've had a couple digital Jegs gauges that were real finicky and you had to reset them, because they show .10 instead of 0.

5", 0-30 psi, 270* sweep, +/- 1/4%, with adjustable zero, that I purchased at an army surplus store 30 years ago. It repeats very well.

Re: What's your favorite tire pressure gauge, and why?
We have had very good luck with the Lonacre gauges. Very repeatable and accurate. They also to be very durable laying in the passenger seat making run after run. I use the 0-30 PSI in both cars. 3.5 inch face

And it shows down to .1psi so it's more exact than a 0-15 dial anyhow. If you have a gauge you're happy with ,fine .are you in the market for a new one, then I think a modern digital type is an easy choice

Re: What's your favorite tire pressure gauge, and why?
I have a calibration gauge that i use in the shop to check my everyday tire testers. My son worked on a fuel team years ago they always two gauges. But in the end find a gauge that repeats and that is easy for old eyes to see and you keep a spare in the trailer that reads the same. I like the lighted one if you are in the lanes after dark. Lots of the dirt track guys use the longacer ones. Tom
