Who Knew?
Accuracy of tire Pressure gauges.
I had a full-blown, fully bonafide, lettered engineer tell me one time that pneumatic pressure gauges were inherently accurate.
Many, many years ago.
I took his word for it.

I was just out measuring tire P on a vehicle that demands within a pound or so.
Guess what?
I was looking for 50 spot on
Out of six gauges, three read around 50
The other read 60 to to 64 .
Three read 10 to 14 lbs high, OR, the other three 10 to 14 low, and I don't know which is correct.
Three are regular dial gauge style, the other three are just the retracting stick style .
One is a 30 dollar gauge I bought years ago.
None read exactly the same.
NONE.
Needless to say, this is sort of an eye-opener!
A BFD !

Yes tires dead cold.

Gauge recommendations?
Edit-doing some research here--Most universal gauges are junk !
Like I said, I had no idea......presumption....
it looks like 70 bucks are required to get a "gooder" one?
