Tire Gauge

[staticghost]

Hi All,

Can someone please recommend a good digital tire gauge for our bikes. I have just lost mine and the one I had was long and always had a problem getting it to read properly.

Thanks.

I know you said digital. Maybe it's because the old stem type guages are hard to read? Maybe you have another reason.

I like guages like this with big analog dials:

but that doesn't answer your question. i'm just curious as to why you want a digital one

I have the RA60X. it is not a digital gauge. never liked the digital gauges. this one holds the reading. and you can use it to bleed air out of the tire

webbikeworld did a whole write up on tire guages. Another thing that has made a world of difference for me is, next time you swap out a tire, have the shop (or you if you do your own tire changes) put on a metal angled stem. It makes checking them wayyyyy easier.

I will look for that write up.

go about 3/4 of the way down this page to "motorcycle tires and wheel reviews" and it has 8 different reviews on guages: Motorcycle Clothing, Helmet and Product Reviews - webBikeWorld

This is their favorite: Accutire Gauge - webBikeWorld

This is what I have and would not reccomend: Digital Tire Gauge - webBikeWorld

hope that helps!

I have this Roadgear one (Digital Tire Pressure Gauge - webBikeWorld) and really like it. It's small, seems to work really well, fits the front wheel good without disc issues and it has a tread gauge.

I don't have this one, but it looks loike it would fit under the seat nice enough, and for under $7.00 bucks why not?

I guess I'm old fashioned but I'm with NotJD, I would like a small reliable non-digital gauge. Are any of the "pencil" type gauges worth having?

Well I want to make sure its exact. If is not digital, them I can never know if is exact. Just makes it a whole lot easier you know.

I bought two at Radio Shack and had them tested for accuracy at a Dunlop tent while attending a Gold Wing rally. :thumbup: They were both very close (1psi off).
