tire pressure gauges

What do you all use to check your tire pressure? With 110 psi required in my coaches tires most air gauges don't go that high.
Thanks

Thanks every one for your suggestions. No I haven't weighed the coach yet, just going by Tiffin and tire recommendations.

X'so 3 for Milton.

I also use a Milton, easy to use and accurate. I also picked up a good inflator for adjusting air pressure. The cheap inflators don't have enough "grip" to hold on the valve stems.

I prefer the Milton brand of tire gauges. They have been around for decades and they are built in the USA. They are reasonably priced and very durable. They have various models that can be purchased to fit any type of tire stem or any dual configuration.

Question on why you are running 110 psi. Have you weighed the coach axles (preferable each tire position) and used the tire manufacturer's table to come up with that number? If not and you are running the "Max Pressure Cold" imprinted on the tire sidewall you will experience a far harder ride than necessary and not be doing your tires any good. There are many threads on proper tire pressure on this forum.

Maybe running 110 psi is what weighing each wheel position, and tire Mfg. recommendations suggest. I run 105 psi as what all of the calculations recommended. It all depends on axle ratings, tire size, etc.

Since OP is clearly new to this, I thought it appropriate to ASK the question. Clearly he could respond that he has indeed weighed his coach. It did not seem unreasonable to ask however. 🙂

Good idea to have 50ft air hose with proper ends as your coach might have a hose outlet that allows you to use engine compressor to inflate a low tire.Mine only went to 105psi but that is probably enough to get to a repair facility.

Definateely get a good truck gauge. Cheap ones have loose plungers an no concave in end an they can slip aside valve an bend it there buy letting air out of tire.Also better to use a hammer to check tires until you are at a garage that can help if you by mistake let air out an cant get valve to close .I did that an it doesent make for a good day.

Go to a truck stop or auto parts store. Do not go for the cheapest and be sure you have the correct angle to reach the duals.

they say one of most accurate is accutire ms 4021b, back in "Aug 10" MH mag did a complete research on all qauges

Tire gauges that read to 150-160 PSI are easy to find if you search on "Truck tire gauge".
