I'm using a NASCAR branded one I got at CT but I don't see it on their site now. Battery has lasted a long time!

Thumbs up Old school

I have one with a dial that I bought at Pep Boys a few years ago.The dial has a rubber cover.Don`t have to worry about dropping it.The best part is it has a pressure relief valve. If your over on the TP you push the stem and bring it down to where you want it. No off on thing. Nice long hose too.It is more of a track / race piece.
I`ve checked it with my digital and its bang on.
You could probably get one at CSC or Bicknell here in Ontario.

+1 the Longacre air pressure gages for the win .

I have a basic 0-60 Longacre gage that has served me well over the years, it still maintains it's accuracy. Looking back, I had debated getting a liquid filled one but I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

All gages are calibrated and give the best accurace in the middle of the range, so depending on your requirement(s) you can use that as a base for choosing 0-60 or 0-120 gages. I'll be picking up one of the newer p-cars, someone mentioned that the cold pressure is around ~50psi so I may have to pickup a 0-120 longacre as well.

This is what I have, and love it http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...id=223&catid=8

I also have a digital one, but prefer the good old analogue guage. Make sure to get the angle chuck.

I dont know about a Digital One... would'nt want the Battery to Crap out at the Wrong time...

Is this Logancre like a "Rolls Royce" of Tire Gauges?

Got my Longacre from Ilker. Don't know if it's the RR, but you sure see a lot of their products being used by the racing crowd.

BTW, my digital is like this (I'm at work so can't check the exact model number) http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...d=1598&catid=8

Whoever wants it, it's yours for $25

I agree with others in this thread Longacre is the way to go, I have bought other tire gauges from other companys and they were inaccurate or stopped reading properly after less than a year. I've had my Longacre tire gauge for quite a while now and no problems so far.

Here is the model I picked up, it even comes with a case to keep it in for extra protection when you are not using it.

+1

I have the same one. Cheap and accurate. Although mine is not Michelin labeled, and it's great for keeping in the car as a general tire gauge. I picked it up at CT on sale for ~$9.00. I bought several of them and gave them out as gifts. Gave one to my father-in-law after borrowing his car only to find all his tires were inflated to around 15psi

I have an ACCU-GAGE DF60X with the plain black rubber gauge guard. Made in the USA, you don't see that too often anymore.
