Love my new digital tire gauge!

It's called Accutire and it kicks ass. I'm really anal about my tire pressure ever since I had a blowout on the highway in my old car. This thing is great - go and buy one now!!!

I got one from Costco for about $7 or so. It's great. It glows red and is visible in all light. Auto shutoff and comes in a very attractive case.

Radio Shack has the one TireRack sells for 16 bucks for $9.95 (at least they used to).

It is an LCD digital, with lithium battery for $9.95.

The cheap-o plastic slide pressure models are also very accurate considering how long they have been around and considering how cheap they are (people generally give them away at tires shops and such). I gave away about 3 of them (through the years), now have only 1.

Keep a good pressure gauge in the car!!!!

Just a suggestion -- the pressure readouts (on the hoses) at most gas stations are way off.

I had the lovely experience of finding this out the hard way. The pressure gauge on the
pump was going up veeeeery slowly, and I
was trying to decide if the air pump was slow, or if the gauge was.

Next thing you know, *BOOM*


Guess it was the gauge....

Makes you wonder if they sell tires there too...
