Default Tire pressure gauge > 60 psi

Anybody have a recommendation for a tire pressure gauge that can go higher than 60 psi? Preferably up to 100 psi.

This is for setting truck and trailer tires. Most are 0-60 which won't work. Thanks.

Every time a question is asked about a quality tire pressure gauge, you always see responses regarding Longacre, so maybe check there.

i use this for my truck and trailer tires:

https://www.napaonline.com/napa/en/p/TWRGA165/

Truck runs at 100-110 depending on axle and trailer tires are at 125.

It matches my TST pressure monitoring system within a pound.

Go to an Interstate truck stop. They have everything you need...and more.

It's a Volvo semi-tractor (registered as an RV) and a Pace GT trailer with 17.5" wheels.

Based on the weight charts I could run the drive tires on the Volvo under 80 PSI but that scares me.

(Insert Tim Allen grunt here) Nice! No tail wagging the dog there.

Yeah, we didn't want that situation. The tractors are cheap coming off line-haul service, too.

I got tired of dealing with multiple gauges due to different ranges needed and have gone digital. I find the most useful gauge to be a nice digital display on the inflator. For the truck and trailer I have a TPMS, so I know what the pressures are roughly before I pull out the inflator to address the issue. I hated only have a 60 psi gauge (Longacre) on the inflator and having to use a different gauge to measure what the pressure was. Here's what I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CG674GY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I actually ended up buying 2 - one in the trailer with the nitrogen tank and one at home for the portable compressor.

I bought a digital Longacre that works in that range. Compared it to the $35 brass integrated tire filler/gauge from Napa auto. No difference. The Napa gauge was just as accurate. Save the money and buy a basic gauge.

I recently purchased this Milton gauge from Amazon.

It is made in the USA.
