Hey all, what does everybody use for a tire pressure gauge?

Been using an Accu-gage analog pressure gauge for many many years (not the same one). Been questioning my current one's accuracy. Looking to replace it, suggestions?

I have these two. Pretty consistent measurements across the two.

Cased Longacre racing gage for my cars. Pump up and then bleed down. I check cold and make sure one side of my QV is not sitting in the sun. Checked against a cheap pencil one I keep in my car. I check my tires for even tread wear with a tread depth gage and run my hands over my tires to feel for any feathering or small imbedded wires or other metallic injuries. I have a Discount tire replacement and had the good fortune to have a replacement for a hazard claim on all 4 corners. New rubber all around for just mounting cost. I like 32 rear and 36 front stock size. Michelin AS4+ for occasional SC rain. NV

Longacre FTW

Nothing fancy. Merlin brand from Harbor Freight. Mostly rely on the car's screen. Only use a gauge when filling (or airing down).

Same as above.

I use my air compressor gauge(main or portable) when I air up the tires or the Giulia digital display when just doing a quick look at the tire pressures.

The TPMS sensors inside the tires would be the most accurate reading anyway I believe. My portable battery powered air compressor reads about 3psi higher than the Giulia TPMS readings and my main larger compressor manual gauge reads about 1 psi higher than the Giulia system.

This pump does it for me. Jives with the TPMS readings.

It looks like it only rated to inflate car tires up to 33psi based on the description.

I use this small portable unit, but it is slow to inflate my low tires to 36psi.
However, mine states up to 34psi in less than 2minutes so maybe yours is rated to go higher as well but goes to 33psi in one minute. I have one in both my cars.
