Christmas present was a digital one from Halfords ... comes in a nice silver box and fits in the glove box nicely

note to self ......... must check tyre pressures as last time checked was Christmas day

Try International Tool Company who were selling nice gauges at the Autosport show for around £10-£15. The little pen style which pops out the end seem to be pretty accurate.

I have one of these but I don't trust it.

It shows lower pressure than any pump or tyre dealer I have ever been to!!!!(by about 2-3 psi)

Don't get it

I've tried the digital variety and found them to be pritty poor (~5 psi difference on consecetive measures). I was looking at the motorsport range at demon tweeks (£30 to £200+..!). I'm prepared to pay £30 -£40 as tyre pressure is vital to sorting the balance of a car out (how much do you spend on tyre/suspension mods etc..?).

As for the garage gauge's...LOL

Don't forget that tyre pressures are different if the tyres are cold, warm or hot
