Default Tire Pressure Gauge Recos

Any recommendations for a highly accurate tire pressure gauge?

Longacre makes lots of variation in various gauge sizes and various tip configurations.

I've had a Longacre gauge for 15 years and it still calibrates on the nose. Plus it's huge so I can see the numbers with my 68 year old eyes!

The Intercomp gauge (see here) is advertised as being used by "top racing teams." Their website has a short video that shows you exactly what it looks like and how it is used. I've never raced anything but I have used their digital gauges on cars and aircraft for a few decades. The company offers a calibration service if you ever question the results. It is advertised as being accurate to 0.1% of the full scale reading.I bought one originally to settle a dispute about underinflated tires and now I don't use anything else. I really trust it but it's too big for the glove box. I treat mine gently and always am prepared to use two hands to operate it which is usually an inconvenience. So if you really mean "highly accurate" then I recommend their products from personal experience. Watch the video.

​​​​​Looks impressive and the price is not bad relative to Longacre stuff.

Loved the music in the video too. 🤣

I've had an Astro Pneumatic analog gauge for years, quite accurate and well made. My model is long gone but they have both analog digital models available.
