TIRE PRESSURE... best gauge?

[artistonFJR]

Who is using what in the way of gauges for tire pressure? I have been using a digital (monkeygrip) and two traditional pencil-type, as well as a round dial version... NEVER had the same reading with more than two of them, and never the same two. Yes, I know how to apply the gauge to the stem, if that is what you're wondering. I want a gauge that is +/- 1 lb MAX. One tells me 44 lbs, the other says 39, the next is at 40.5... who has a trustworthy model, and how do you know it's right?

Thanks

Oh, tried to post this in NEPRT but it wouldn't let me open a new topic... ???

Try SEARCH, MORE SEARCH OPTIONS, type in +pressure +gauge and select 30 days and newer

Yup, if you do a search you'll find the Motorcycle Consumer News test on a buttload of gauges. I bought the recommend Radio Shack $12 gauge (same as another made by someone else and much prettier $24) and it talks to you in english or spanish! As reported it's pretty accurate, within +/- a pound I think.

Glad you got it! iggy is on a ride-about so it's up to one of the other admins to deliver this thread to the NEPET bin.

My mechanical gauge measures about the same (+/- 1#) as my friend's El Expenso electronic gauge. I'm hanging on to that one.

Art... here's a pretty good recent thread on gauges.

BTW... the best way to search this forum is using Google. For example tire pressure gauge site:fjrforum.com

This is the one I use Clicky

It clips on to the valve stem and you can inflate or deflate without removing the guage
