Looking for good accurate tire guage

[BillJ]

Can anybody recommend a good tire gauge?

The gauge I bought and had been using from Advance Auto was recently found to be 4 lbs off.

Any pros/cons between dial and digital?

I've read that the gauge range should be twice the value you are setting the tire pressure to because most gauges are most accurate in the middle of their range.

Is water filled better due to dampening?

Any thoughts?

I got mine from the Snap on guy and its been good for years. I like dial better.

Yeah, I would recommend a Snap-On gauge as well.

Thanks for the input,

I looked at the:
Snap-on gauge (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...&group_ID=1665&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog)

vs.

Moroso gauge (http://www.amazon.com/Moroso-89560-..._1_1/104-7910093-1030352?ie=UTF8&s=automotive) (http://store.summitracing.com/partd...&N=700+4294862885+4294907783+115&autoview=sku)

I went with the Moroso gauge since they were one of the few that would state their accuracy (<2% error).

Snap-on, first time you drop it (and you will) you will be thankfull for the rubber thingie.
