Consumer Reports rates them from time to time. Check the May '02, page 57 issue for one.  I don't have that issue anymore. | |

Friends: 9 | Re: Tire gage accuracy I bought the racing tire gauge. It's great. Overfill a little once and deflate to your desired pressure using the bleed valve. |

Friends: 0 | Re: Tire gage accuracy Keep in mind, that just because a guage is digital, and reads in 0.5 pound increments, that doesn't mean it's accurate. |
