Tyre Guage

#1 Post by AlanH »

Any body know of an accurate tyre pressure guage?

I have got 4 (including one on the foot pump) and they all read different.

Take tyre to a tyre company who use a calibrated gauge then take the reading to work out which one of yours is nearest.
Or spend a few quid a buy a calibrated sealey or Draper (two I have found last the longest,other brands are available) gauge,assuming you have a compressor.
Some people are like Slinky's, they serve no real purpose in life but bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

may help?

But in general, PCL stuff is likely to be the best. The pencil gauges are good, if old fashioned.

checked today and mine is a Sealey model SA37/93. v3 and came with a calibration cert. Retail price is about £130.

For a budget solution I have these 2 items. The Halfords digital gauge is 10 years old. The double barrelled foot pump ... 2 weeks.
