    You could, but it's a pain in the ass. You have to screw it onto the stem/body and unscrew the core to check the pressure. Then screw the core back in and unscrew /take off the deflator. So all of the sudden it becomes a chore

    ^^^ this.

    Just get a stick one from the auto parts store and leave it in the glove box or center console.

    Geese, I think I have 5 or 6 of those laying around in various places.

    A basic tool for the autox crowd. Durable, accurate, easy to see/use, bleed valve built in. Not cheap.

    Most dime store stick guages will vary to this by 5 - 10 lbs in either direction. If that's close enough for what you want, then go with the stick.

    Damn!
    Damn again!

    I think op was looking for one going up to to 60 psi... Lol. I haven't used a stick pretty much in years, so didn't even occur to me how much off they could be.

    The sticks I have are all within a few pounds of each other.

    I think as long as it is consistent, the absolute pressure doesn't really matter all that much. What matters more (IMO) is that all the tires are the same.

    It doesn't really matter if your tires are at 18 or 20 psi. If you need more traction, psi is too high, if you blow a bead, it was too low, lol.

    I mean sure, if you're racing, get the pressure to within a 1/4 pound...

    I wanted a gauge that's fairly accurate and goes from 0 - 60 psi. There's the ARB506 from ARB that goes to 70 psi.
    I have the ARB Speedy Seal tire repair kit that has a stick type gauge (think it goes to 120). I may replace it with one from Matco or Snap-On.
