Digital Tyre Guages

Post by devlin » Tue Aug 28, 2007 2:21 am

Does anyone have any recommendations of a good digital tyre guage to get. Jaycar here in Oz has one for $20, I'm not sure of it's accuracy though.

G'day Devlin, mine is a Haigh brand gauge. Paid $22.95 from autobarn about 7 years ago. I've checked it against various other gauges and it appears to be spot on. Still got the original battery in it. It only operates on the KPA scale tho. Any of the different models should be accurate you would think.

Devlin, I've got a Michelin one that I bought a few years ago. It's not digital but is deadly accurate. I think I paid about $50 about 4 years ago. Had one of those digital ones Kev was talking about and they were good but I kept loosing them :oops:

I've got a Michelin foot pump with inbuilt gauge that i use for track days. Seems to be very accurate and it's in psi which is a bonus .Bought that from Autobarn as well. Think i paid around $30 for that.
