Where can one find a high quality tire pressure gauge?

 

[MattG]

I bought mine from Frey Racing, a local speed shop catering to the racer crowd (not Honduhs, but *real* race cars). Check for something similar locally. Or, try online places such as Pegasus or Racer Wholesale. Lastly, Griots Garage has a tire pressure gauge that looks pretty decent. I'd expect to spend around $50.

I have the "Ultimate Tire Gauge" and I've had it for some time now. I see they have an 'improved' version too. What you want is an accurate gauge with a bleed valve. That way you can run the pressure up to a bit higher than what you want and bleed out the extra. Very quick and easy.

I don't like digital gauges and I don't really see the hold valve as a value.

Get one that has a pressure release valve built in.

This is one is $24.99 on sale.

edit.. damn... NMRJock was quicker!

P.S. I agree about digital and about the setting hold feature. One of my gauges has it and it's an annoyance.

Those are really nice ! I've used them (on a friend's "real race car!!!!") and it was good. The bleed valve - very handy. Gotta get one....

Brookstone carries a pretty good one that I've had for 10 years w/ a pressure release valve.

You want 0-60psi.

Most tuning is in the 20-50 psi range. I have never run a racing tire above 55psi.

I have a 0-30psi gauge for my kart.

I use this one:

[Randy Chase]

Oh, I didn't know SPS sells one.

BUY THAT ONE!! Support the people that support us at events. Good guys at Solo Performance.

 

[Robert Puertas]

Yes, buy from SPS.

OTOH, Pat, if you need one today, you might try Sube Sports in H.B.

Seems like I've seen them there in the past...

Here's a hint: buy two of them even if one is cheap. Compare the two of them periodically. I had a nice guage once but I dropped it and it was inconsistent after that.

Accu-guage is OK. Get one with a short hose and a pressure release valve.

BMW dealers carry a very nice one that has braided stainless over the hose. The price as I remember is reasonable $35 or something like that.
