Default Can anyone recommend a decent tire pressure gauge? (Search came up empty)

I couldn't find much about this through a search. The consensus seems to be that the AccuTire gauges Audi sent out are junk, so I'd like to get something better. I don't necessarily need the latest and greatest ... just something for under $30 or so with relatively decent accuracy.

Any thoughts? TIA.

Default Brookstone has a digital gauge that works well, others have lithium batteries -should work well

less than $20 for digital, other dial types are about $10

Default I got this one after my old one died. High quality, good price.

I also have and use the digital gauges, They work great. But when you need to bleed out air (at the track), it is nice to have a bleed off valve to quickly remove a lot of air without removing the gauge.

Default Depending on how exited you want to get about it. I use a Longacre guage for my go kart, you can

find quite a few different styles on this link. Probably best to steer clear of the liquid filled guages.<ul><li><a href="http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/catlist.asp?catid=8">http://www.longacreracing.com/catalog/catlist.asp?catid=8</a</li></ul>

Default Can't Beat Noshok!

I got a Noshok Tire Gauge from my local distributor for free. For those not familiar, Noshok is a manufacturer of precision Hydraulic and Pneumatic gauges.
