Default Tire Gauges

Hey guys,

Just want to know what tire gauges you guys are using for your cars. I have a digital one but I suspect that one is very accurate anymore. Which ones are the most accurate? Price I don't really care about.

I got this one from Amazon and I am pretty happy with it. Every one I show it to would recommend it as well. Cheap 14$ and you will never need to replace the batteries!

^ This

I'm still operating in the mechanical analog gauge world and plan to stay that way for quite some time to come. Of course, I'm a manual transmission bigot as well so I guess I'm sort of alergic to the high-tech digital stuff (at least where the old mechanical variant is still viable).

Here's my pressure gauge (Slime; best name ever):

I have a Victor like the two above. I don't like the cheap slide out type, or the digital.

Thanks guys! I was looking into getting an analog one as well. The digital one that I have give different readings each time and the difference is big here so I want to trash this one.

Is this a good one?

Yes very good, maybe slight overkill but it's accurate.

That's going overboard a little. The hose is not needed IMO.

Big enough to read, only need one hand, and less than $10 at Advance.
