I am looking to purchase a good tire gauge and was wondering what the best one was or recommendations of a good one on the market. Brand and aprox cost would be helpful.

Moroso tire gauge ! I have been using them for years on the racecar. They are stong and accurate. A little bigger than some but they have a bent end that really gets in there. A bleed off feature and rubber cased for durability. I never trust digital.

Quick car racing also makes a real good one.

Heres the one i have. and i love it. Any race shop should have em.

Club - really - don't trust digital?? I'm not being a smart-aleck. I didn't know there was a problem w/ digital presure gauges. I'll check out the ones you recommend.
It's funny- I saw this post & have been thinking I need a new tire gauge. Mine are all typical junk. They work - but ........

Those are great gauges. I personally use the Longacre Racing combination chock/gauge. It lets me inflate and bleed without removing it when connected to my compressor

I'm thinking of upgrading to the digital unit, I banged up the gauge a couple races ago and even after I recalibrated it I'm suspicious of the readings.

They also have a really cool temperature compensating unit but it's a tad pricey @ $375

For everyday use and something you can keep in the saddle bag it's hard to beat the basic digitals like these:

I agree with Dean on the annalog style Vs the digital ones. I am sure some of the digital are good, maybe old fashion. here is what I use.

$31.00

the only thing I can add is the bleed off feature is a great thing to have when you want as close to 'proper pressure' as possible. I've got the moroso I use at home but carry a basic pen style digital when I'm traveling for it's small size.

I use the pen style one that came with my XR.

There ya go. I use a pen style tire gauge I bought @ Kragen Auto! (about equal to Wal-Mart ..... I guess).

Thanks everyone, I went and ordered the Quick car racing 60psi one. Will update my findings when I test it out.

My mistake I thought you wanted one to take with you when you went riding...........have fun tinkering in the garage.

I will probably pick one of these up also to put in the bags. Thanks for the suggestion.
