![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Anyone recommend an accurate and reliable tire pressure gauge? And are the digital ones any good?
I searched the board and didn't see any recommendations, so sorry if this has come up a lot before.

My local Costco has the Accutire MS-4000 for ~$11

I also have a Accutire MS-4020

Both work well. I bought the MS-4000 since it has a backlight - helpful dark areas.

Sporty's Deluxe Tire Pressure Gauge (4302T). Very accurate, durable, requires no batteries, and has a little pressure relief button so you can add air to the tire and then bleed away just enough to get EXACTLY the pressure you want. I got mine not long after I purchased my '91 Miata. Still going strong. It's the perfect tool for the job.

Far superior to ordinary gauges, this commercial grade tire gauge uses a friction-free bourdon tube (long used by scientific instrument manufacturers as a dependable means of measuring pressure). The geared, solid brass precision movement is exceptionally accurate and is unaffected by changes in temperature, humidity or altitude. We've used this same gauge for over 15 years on everything from bicycles and autos to aircraft. The 12 in. flexible extension hose facilitates easy readings. A special bleeder valve releases excess air from the tire while monitoring tire pressure. The heavy steel case has a 2 in. dia. dial with an unbreakable crystal. The entire gauge is encased in a rubber, shock-absorbing cover to protect it if dropped. Gauges are calibrated in easy-to-read 1 lb. graduations. Made in USA.
