Any suggestion on a solid/accurate tire pressure guage? Want to get a pen style gauge to keep in glove compartment. There are many in the market, but very cheaply made. Not looking for anything super fance. Just something accurate and easy to use (cheap ones are tough to get a good seal for accurate reading).

Thanks

 

If you're looking for superior accuracy, I don't think the pen style gauges would be good for you. A pen style gauge will get the job done, even the cheapest ones out there. I carry one with me in day to day activities, but when I really need pinpoint accuracy, this is what I use:

 

This is what I always have in my trunk. Always super accurate.

Are you tracking the car?

Unless you are trying to improve the handling or just want to impress the neighbors, the one SuperTrooper recommended will work fine. Don't spend more than $20.

 

There are plenty of tire pressure guage options. You need to check sites like ebay and amazon to make best deals

 

Autozone has a box of circular ones next to the register for $3. It's within 1 psi accuracy.

 

No, sir. Never tracked before (but love to try in future). I've read quite a bit about tracking. That seems to be a very expensive hobby. People prepare an extra set of tires, brake pads, and few mods to track. I'm sure that'd cost few thousand $ easily.

A good tire for the TL is about $150 each. I figured an accurate tire gauge would be an inexpensive investment. That may help me to extend the life of these tires by few thousand miles.

 

Have you got the pressure gauge or still searching.
