Tire gauge question....

1428 Views 11 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Gas Man
How do you know if your tire gauge is accurate or not? I have 3 different ones at home (1 digital, 2 of the little silver pen type) and all 3 give me a different reading...I'm not horribly happy about that since I like to check my air every 2 days or so. I'd like to KNOW what my tire pressure is, for some odd reason :skep:

TIA, Everyone.

I would like to believe your gauges are only off a pound or two max. Now remember Your tire pressure Hot is always going to higher than cold. So Pump it up when cold. Next if they are all within a pound or two. STOP useing three, just pick one and believe in it. At least it will always be right with its self.
Carpenters dont like to use two tape measures and women dont like two scales. Just go with one. It will take the confusion out of it. I hate inconsistancies too but the best way to avoid it is do without it. If it can be done. :dthumb:
