Hi,

Anyone know of a good and accurate tyre gauge with .1 psi or lower increments. I have bought a couple from Ebay, new, one eats batteries like there going out of fashion, the other is extremely inaccurate.

Any Ideas???

A calibrated one would be good, i have just bought a longacres one from GPR, analogue so no batteries. 0-30 psi so will do most applications.

0.1 increments, the more accurate you can be the better, if it doesnt go up in 0.1 psi increments then it is more time out of ten going to be .5 increments. The question then is when does it go up to the next .5? eg. 15.0 -15.5 - 16.0, does it go to 16.0 when its at 15.75 and does it go to 15.5 when its at 15.25, if this is the case then the difference is 15.75-15.25 = 0.5 psi, which will make a difference, thats why i asked about the .1 increments.

0.5 psi can make a difference.

0.5 psi in car well set-up will make a difference, and has done in the past, accurate data logging can confirm this
