What are some brands of accurate tire gauges?

I have 2 different tire gauges that are a few pounds different in there pressure reading.

 

Buy 5
Get 5 readings...

 

Might as well buy 10. One of them has to be right. I hope.

 

I do find the digital ones are more consistent with other like gauges

 

I have a dial type that I bought a few years ago from AutoZone. When I had my friend program the new sensors in the wife’s wheels, it was within 0 to 1 pound different than what the Tech Stream was showing. I'll take that

 

Does the digital gauges has to be constantly calibrated?

 

I have the pencil type from AutoZone I believe it the Slime brand. Then I have one from NAPA. These are about 3 pounds different. I also have Joe's Racing tire gauge

$25 Joes Racing 32307 (0-60) PSI Tire Pressure Gauge

https://www.amazon.com/Joes-Racing-32307-Pressure-Gauge/dp/B00404WDUC All are a few pounds apart from each other.

 

it takes special equipment so I have no idea...

 

Consumers Reports has a bunch on their website that they tested.

 

I thought the digital gauges were self calibrating by holding the buttons.

 

Winding down the evening for an early rise tomorrow.

Peace stockers

 

Is the information on Consumer Reports can be trusted?

Good night, Bill!

Don't let the wife keep you up all night.

 

Judging by the foul mood she's been in most of the day.....that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Might have to get her another kitten.

 

All depends on the type you get and how old it is....

Ours don’t have a zero cal button.

To be honest we don’t care what it reads.
As long as it reads the same way all the time.

At the track we run 3 or 4 psi lower than most others.
Our notes are set to that gauge. When others gauges die and they ask if they can borrow ours.
I advise them it’s not a good idea. But when they do, we pass them..lol
It’s all relative...


I run 37 to 38 psi on my truck with AT20’s
Is my own gauge accurate?
Don’t care.

 

This is a joke .. right
