If you think this is a good site, please buy from them, or donate. I've been following them for about 10 years, and have bought many books and DVD's from them, and donated also.

I've got three or four electronic ones and have compared the readings of them all. They're all pretty close to each other. I use whichever one I pull out of the drawer first. Works for me. I'm not going to worry about a couple psi.

I've tried several over the years, but the best & most accurate has been a Accutire Model MS-4021B Digital Gauge - I've had one for well over 10 years & just recently ordered another one for $15 direct from the company with free shipping.It reads a range of 5 to 150 PSI in 1/2 lb increments. It works great on single wheels, but not on dual wheels due to the valve stem angles. I use a Acme Truck Digital Angled Dual Foot Tire gauge model A567 for my dually. It reads from 2 to 150 psi in .1 tenth increments.

You can get the same gauge from Amazon Prime (free shipping) for $9.99.

I'd always suggest that you check tires with two different gauges. If there is more than a 2-3% difference, you need to compare the gauges to a tire store's reading to make sure they match.

Something happened today to make me doubt the accuracy of the tire gauge that I have been using the past few years. So what brand of tire gauge is a "good" one? How can you check the accuracy of a tire gauge?
Thanks for your help.

I went to the tire shop where I buy all my tires and asked them what gauge they recommended and used.
