tire pressure guages

why not spend about $ 20.00 and go to a calibration shop and have on of them
verified.
then you know you have the correct pressure.

Ha,
I had the same problem last summer and got miffed at myself for adjusting my
tire pressure to 42 lbs. all around on my Santa Fe while on a 500 mile trip,
due to my old pencil style gauge reading way too low. I ended up buying a
bunch of gauges and comparing it to a pressure gauge a friend uses for
research projects.

The closest one was a digital gauge that BJ's warehouse had for $8. The
range of the 5 gauges I bought went from 22 lbs to 40 lbs. Even the $28
brass dial gauge was way off.

I returned the other gauges and bought more of the BJ's digital gauges for
my wife and kids. They all read within a half pound of each other. They
aren't the easiest to use due to their shape (teardrop) but at least they
are accurate.

I have an electronic one with a digital readout which reads to one half
pounds.....The local gas station has a regular old style air hose/regulator
for customers (no quarters!) and my gage agrees with it....had doubts about
the electronic gadget but it seems to be reliable and consistent.
