Thumbs up the tire gauge

Check out the tire gauge at the tire rack... it works great and has a great case and a lifetime battery

I second the Accutire gauge. I would advise you to get an LED vs. an LCD display. You'll be able to read it easier on dark winter mornings or in your garage. It's only slightly more expensive than the LCD model.

I recently bought an Accutire digital gauge after reading John's (blackmercedes) recommendation. I like it alot! It's an LCD model with backlight.

Otoh, I've used a German made dial gauge for years. It's made by Flaig of West Germany and is great. I paid about $25 for it in the mid-1980s. The face rotates to 'zero' out the gauge to compensate for altitude and wear. It reads exactly the same as my new Accutire gauge. I also have another dial gauge bought from Costco for about $10 that works well. It reads about 1.5 psi lower than either of my other gauges but does so consistently so it's easy to compensate for it.

Anyway...I recommend the Accutire but still like the Flaig the best
