I need a tyre pressure gauge - recommendations please

[John D.]

As above.

I currently have a digital Michelin branded item from Halfords which up until yesterday had been fine. Now it seems unable to give an accurate reading or zero correctly. In short its fked. Think I may have broken it by using it to release pressure when making adjustments. So I'd like to get one with the facility to do this properly and that is built to last.

Gauge will be used to monitor pressures on my Elise which are set 24/26psi, if that makes any odds in terms of range.

Cheers.

At work we use cheapy ones from Tescos, but they've proved remarkably accurate when checked against our calibrated gauge. I can't find a link for them on the Tesco website now, but they're in store in Reading and in the petrol stations too.

Display readings are to 0.01bar, 1kPa, 0.1psi etc. better than all the Halfords ones which do 0.1bar or 0.5psi. They're only a couple pounds, really good.

ETA - this be it

Bump.

I have this one here, it miss reads when the battery runs low but you can tell when its low as when you press a button it thinks it has taken a reading and it comes on in your pocket but I think it looks nice.

I'm not sure how accurate but it seems pretty well built

I use the Michelin one , its the aloy boddies type in Halfrauds for 24.99 .

So accurate and easy to program.

Thats the one I have!

Perhaps it is just the battery is low. Surprised if it is as I havn't had it that long or used it all that much. Thanks for the tip

Yeah it comes on all the time when in your pocket, my one ran out in about 3 months, took it back and exchanged as I thought was faulty too then the second one started doing the same thing then I realised it was the battery
