    Tyre Pressure Gauge

    Hey guys, looking to buy a tyre pressure gauge I can keep in the car/garage.

    Are ones on ebay like these fine?

    I'd pay a bit more money and get a track oriented one.

    I have a Longacre one that has served me well for a few years but has finally broken (probably by someone I lent it to) and reads 7.5psi high. I bought an Intercomp gauge for my brother and it was superior to my Longacre one, better fittings and the bleed button worked more quickly to let air out of the tyre.

        as long as psi readings are somewhat accurate.. should be right

            Question sort of ontopic. Whats the best way to know the correct psi to run your tyres.
            As non of use would run the stock rims or stock tyre size and weight reduction would also affect psi used.

              For track use the best way is testing with a stopwatch, a tyre pressure gauge and a tyre pyrometer. Often for race oriented tyres the manufacturer will give rough guidelines on suitable pressures also, but these should obviously still be tested.

              For street use I couldn't say what the best method will be, tyre pressure will most likely be a compromise of wear, NVH and performance.
