  • Tire Pressure Gauge Recommendation?

    Just wondering what everybody is using these days to check their tire pressure. I've been just surfin' the net and came across this one here from Michelin. Not sure if it's even that good or not?

    Anyone know of a better (more accurate) gauge out there?

    Cheers.... Deuce.

    I don't like the digital ones, they seem to not really get you anything and are larger and require batteries.

    I have an analogue gauge-style one. Cheap and effective.

            My dad has a digital one and likes it, it reads to 1 decimal place, which really is overkill, we've had it for a long time and teh battery has never died, but its nice and compact.

              Me too. If you're within 1-2 psi of recommended, you're fine. No need to spend the cash on the fancy one unless you're doing it to impress the ladies
