Tire Pressure Gauge Recommendation
#1
I have a few questions regarding pressure gauges:
1. What are your brand recommendations for a tire pressure gauge?
2. Are digital gauges less/more/as accurate as a quality analog gauge?
3. Are the mini round analog gauges (like the mini Accu-Gage) as accurate as the full size version?
Also, any recommendations on where the buy the recommended gauges would also be of help.
Thanks,
JS

I've been wondering about the same things...
I did hear that with a digital gauge you can tell if it is not reading correctly easier then an anolog.
One of these days I'll have my own compressor so I can fill my tires at home (I hate fighting with those air hoses) and blow dry after washing my car.
Good luck in your search...I'm curious too!

Without a doubt: The Michelin Vigil gauge. Accurate, reliable, and small. I swear by it.

I forgot to address the digital issue...
I'm sure there are some really nice digital gauges out there, but I still prefer analog. Digital implies the need for a battery, and I don't like that. I consider a tire gauge to be a piece of safety gear, and if I ever pulled out my gauge to find the battery dead, I'd be super pi$$ed.
Just my $0.02. YMMV.

For day to day driving yes most any gause will do... for motorsports , autocross track days... tire gauge quality , accuracy and most importantly consistancy are very important.... I have a 40 dollar gauge for race day... but keep a 10 dollar gauge in the car day to day. I also hate batteries and stick with non digital ones...

I'd second the suggestion about chosing a quality guage from a racing parts vendor. I have a Moroso guage that I bought from Jegs a while ago. I also bought a rubber protector that fits around the guage and helps protect the face from scratches. It's not very light and it's probably not as accurate as a new digital guage but it's very sturdy and easy to use--the head rotates and you can release the pressure and re-read quickly with "quick release" button on the hose. The cost was reasonable--under $50, as I recall.
