Default Weekly comments / summary of tire gauges....

UNless you have $70 or more to spend and can be really careful with an analog dial gauge like the one that Griot's Garage sells, the most accurate gauge is the digital Accu-Tire (also sold by Brookstone). I have taken a long road testing many gauges to come to this, and European Car's testing liked it very much too for accuracy.

I am dumping my Audi analog dial gauge (with the Audi Sport logo on the face) as I have proven it innacurate. Of course, it may have been accurate when new but i had no idea these gauges were so sensitive to impacts and I may have dropped it.

YMM, of course, V.
