I'm tired of spending money on gauges that are supposed to be good and finding out they are not. Any advise on a good brand of tire pressure gauge? Is liquid or digital better/more accurate?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 

For the track I've never found anything better than the large . Built like a tank, very accurate, and easy to read. It's huge though, so if you're looking for something you can just carry around in the glove box all the time it's not a good choice.

+1 on Longacre.

 

Longacre...

They are located in Monroe, WA (30 mins from Seattle) and I recently visited them to have a few guages checked and I can tell you first hand that the customer service was great. They took me right back to the station where they assemble and test them and tore mine down and began checking etc.

That being said, there is a competitor to Longacre called Joes Racing that is not too far from them and their gauges look strikingly similar (as in made in the same place just with different graphics) and it is less expensive.

While I was at longacre I bought a gauge with a higher range for my trailer tires and it is the first digital one that I have purchased. Pretty slick... my only concern is that inevitably the battery will be dead when I need it most :-) Analog gauges are good like that.

 

The big Longacre digital guage is great. It's accurate and can be re-set with a known pressure source if need be.

 

longacre as well.

 

Been using Longacre for 10 years. Great gauges.

Yes to both. However, gauges work most accurately in the middle of their operating range, so for a tire pressure of 35psi you would want one that that had a range of 0-70 psi. Don't bother getting a low pressure gauge 0-40 or extremely high road bicycle gauge 0-150 etc., because that will usually be hopelessly wrong. I find digital gauges to have the most stable readings throughout their life. Needle liquid filled ones are easier to read but will require maintenance to get the same accuracy.

 

LongAcre, 2 1/2" Glow in the Dark (useful to check trailer tire pressures). 0-60psi.

 

Longacre as well. Anolog one. If you go to Sebring, wine country sells them right at the track. I think mine was $60-70. Comes in a nice metal pelican style case. I've had it for around 2 years now.

 

that's what i have. so looks like you are as blind as i am. can't read the smaller ones.

 

+3 Go big or go home.

 

Agreed. I have the same one.
