tire gauge recommendation
hi folks,
i'm looking for a nice reliable accurate tire guage with a bleed out valve. What do you guys recommend? If anyone has a good one they'd like to sell send me a PM.
Cheers,
Boris

Boris,
I have the Porsche 0~60 that they sell at the dealership. Comes in a silver fancy porsche box. It does have the bleed off button. Paid $32 for it.

Boris, I _highly_ recommend buying a blue $29.00 (I think it's 24.99 now) 0-60 psi gage from www.RacerPartsWholesale.com. About half of our autocross people use it. I've had it for 2 years and am _in love_ wiht the thing. Tried a number of others, this one is by far the best.

Boris,
My 0.02 cents, don't go for the cheap ones. You need accurate readings on your tire pressure for you to gage how your tire feels at certain pressure and temp specially when at the track.
apex.com (NA) sells that highly accurate one. I went for the Porsche 0~60psi unit 'cause I didn't want to wait for shipping.
Lots of good recommendation here though except for the cheap ones.
Mark of Baltimore's Longacre digital is one of the top of the line you can get.

Accugage 0-60 psi gage with hose. Get the add'l rubber protector. Total cost prob. about $20. Have one in each car; think have had them for 10+ years.

I used Accugage and probably still have one somewhere. The big advantage of RacerPartsWholesale gauge is that the face is much larger and much-much easier to read when you are doing quick adjustments at autocross events. Also, unlike other gauges, it's just balanced right and feels good in your hand.
I rarely like a product as much as I like this thing. It actually changed my tire pressure habits and now I check them more often.

I bought one from Griot's Garage (no affiliation) with a bleeder valve several years ago. It has a large gauge face that's easy to read and is encased in rubber so it's withstood a fair amount of banging around.
