I have 3 pencil air gauges and one dial analog gauge. They range from 3lbs low to 8 lbs high across the 4, when checking one tire.
How can we know if a gauge is reading right? Where is the tester for the gauge? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I agree with Andy about differential between tires, with one caveat -- get a decent quality dial gauge (no less than $30) with an air-bleed valve. That will make it much easier to lower the pressures if you bump them up too high when refilling every time you gas up for daily drivers, or when bleeding off air between autocross runs.
