Tyre pressure guages

[Still Thinking]

Hi - I have three tyre pressure guages. Two are digital and the third has a traditional dial. I always check my tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. The thing is, all three guages show different readings. I took the car to a local garage, less than a mile away. Their tyre guage gave yet another reading! The variance between all four of them was up to +5 pounds. Can anyone recommend an accurate/benchmark guage? Thanks.

when i am karting (regularly adding or dropping psi) after every time out in a day i look for consistency ie does it read the same every time and then work out what you are comfortable with / want, in the kart enough psi to get the tyres to warm up/work but then not to over heat in the time you are out and start flinging rubber in your face at 50mph

long story short is if any one of those reads the same in similar conditions then i would not worry, main point is to show that the pressure has actually changed and needs adjusting, my opinion.

Ebay item number 160574487632. I have been using these for years, the first one purchased 15 years ago still matches another one I got last year.
