Accurate tire pressure gauge - any recommendations?

[mbu]

Do any of you have an accurate tire pressure gauge?" If so, would you mind posting a photo of it with a link as to where you obtained it.

Thanks...

Some of those "sticks" are good ....some suck!

I have a metal one that works well - keep it in my truck

Bought this for the shop - seems to work very well, hopes the last reading too

Slime Sport gauge...

Only problem is it shuts off after 30 seconds, you have to turn it on again...

I have had this one for about 5 years now. Seems to work well.

Autometer. IS accurate and pretty much the industry standard when it comes to metering anything.

I keep a 0-40psi gauge in my Jeep (great for airing down when wheeling) and a 0-60psi gauge in my truck.

This one has worked well for me. I wanted one that I could use with both air and water since my back tires are filled.

How fast are you driving that thing!? Does it have a big #3 painted on the side? It's a tractor. I like to be as close as I can on stuff of that nature as well, but if you have gauges around the shop and two of them read within 10% of one another then either one would probably be good enough to keep EXTREME, premature tire wear to a minimum.

It's will be used on automotive vehicles as well

I would like to get one that doesn't have a battery, or at least one that uses a standard AA or AAA battery.

Here is the one I use; old, like me but really hard to find better, like me. LOL https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-AC...accu+gauge&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313
Mine only registers 60PSI which I prefer. I think any type of gauge, regardless of the application should never operate near the extreme range borders; either high or low. Meaning dont use a gauge that will accommodate a 300 psi supply to try and accurately check a tire with 14 psi pressure.

Been using this one for a while. Seems very accurate compared to others I've checked it against. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...re-gauge-with-hose-10-to-160-psi?cm_vc=-10005

One might know that the "variable" in tire pressure is the water content of the "air". You know, humidity.

All the other gasses are quite consitant in partial pressure over a spread of temperatures. Water vapor,... not so much.

That's why the "racers" fill with nitrogen.

Car dealers and tire shops that offer N2 fills in Arizona are ripping drivers off ! The air is dry there! ;-)

That's funny, "vintage", I have that one too and got it around 1991 when I got my Early Bronco. It's still going strong and is kept in my Rubicon. It's nice that it has a relief button that you can lower the pressure a little with if you get it too high. I'm vintage too, but hadn't thought of mine as vintage before.

Accurate tire gauge? Never heard of one.

I'm a hobbiest drag racer. At the track, you can take 20 different peoples' tire gauge and check the tires on my car against mine, and you'll get 21 different readings. This is absolutely true because I've done it. And they're all over the place. Mine'll be 10 psi, someone else's would read 13.5 psi, another one was 6, etc etc.

And no, I don't use nitrogen. Waste of money. Tried it. And yes it's real humid here.
