    What is a quality tire gauge?

    I have been seeing gauges these days turn to cheap housings and non quality dials. Does anyone have a quality tire gauge suggestion?

    I have no suggestions for anything useful, just wondering if you are asking about pressure gauges or tread depth gauges

    they look pretty solid, I ended up with a moroso, but didn't know Dave could get gauges.

    We sell (and use in the shop) the digital gauges sold under the Parts Unlimited/Drag Specialties label. We have found these to be consistently +/- .5 lb from a calibrated reference gauge, and more importantly, repeatable +/- .5 lb or less. Pretty decent performance for a gauge that sells for under $30.

    I have also heard that Accu gauge is a great gauge.
