    What's a good, inexpensive tire gauge to use?

    Wel, Just bought my new tires. (Ed, on tire thread), and now to keep an accurate tire pressure, what's a good, reasonably priced gauge. ($10 to 20, or less). Ed

    I just grab whatever the auto parts store has. The ones with a needle are probably a little better than the cheapest slidey stick type if you're concerned for accuracy.

        I had one of those, but the battery died. I try to stay away from battery stuff when I can just because the battery always seems to be dead when I need it.

          Have both the "stick" versions and a dial gauge that French biking folks use. That last one is pretty accurate.

            Not really cheap but dead accurate for a couple of years now. One of my favorite little tools because it works so well. I did add a rubber boot to mine to protect my investment.

              I just use the dial gauge that all the auto parts stores have right by the counter for like 5 bucks. My LaCrosse has the TPMS display with the readings for all four tires and it matches that, so I'd assume its accurate enough!
