Yes, I had a digital one that went haywire after a year or so. Now I use an analog gauge for more reliability.

I keep mine at 35 psi for all seasons. Seems to work well, even in winter!

That’s interesting, cindycraig! I’ve read that under-inflation can lead to blowouts. It’s scary to think about! Anyone recommend a gauge for those who want something handy?

I’ve got a portable gauge that fits right in the glove box. It’s convenient for quick checks!

I think finding one that is easy to read is crucial. Anyone found a gauge that is both accurate and has a clear display?

The ones with backlit displays are super helpful at night. I recommend checking out the ones from Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).

I feel like tire pressure gauges are like fishing scales; half the time, you don’t know if they’re telling the truth! But really, keeping pressure right is essential!

I wonder if we’re overcomplicating this? As long as you check regularly, that’s what matters, right?

True, but accuracy matters, too! A gauge that’s off by a little can lead to big problems. Thanks for all the insights!

I second that! The Accu-Gage is my go-to as well. It’s reliable and hasn’t failed me yet.

If you’re looking for something digital, the AstroAI Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is pretty cool! It provides a quick readout.

I have one too! It’s really handy and I love that it has a backlight.

I’ve used a few different models, but I keep going back to the Accutire gauge. Solid build and affordable!

Same here! It seems to be the most consistent. Plus, it fits easily in my glove box.

For those of you who like hands-on tools, have you tried the pen-type gauges? They can be tricky, but they’re super compact!
