Any suggestions that don't cost that much and goes in a glove box?

Isn't there one built into the DIC? The TPMS sensors should be pretty dead on.

Car and Driver did a good comparison article on Tire Pressure Gauges in their Gearbox section.

Personally I use this digital one form Griots Garage. I like the valve for letting out air. It works great and the back light is nice. My only minor complaint is the clip that seals it to valve stem doesn't always keep it in place if you take your hand off. If you keep pressure against the valve stem with your hand or adjust it a tiny bit it is fine though.

This is mine, I got it because of the 5 star amazon review and it did not disappoint.

You need a air compressor to use it.

i got the joes racing model.

iHasCamaro · 04-14-2012, 06:22 PM

Am I missing something here? My car has a screen that shows all the pressures without a gage.

FEN · 04-14-2012, 07:09 PM

Whats with all the fancy and OVERSIZED guages? I have several pencil style guages that are around $10 and they all read the same and match the DIC within 1-2 lbs. I have alot of $ tied up in my wheels/tires and have no issues using a simple pencil guage. From my experience in the many years i have used them, they are small,durable, and accurate.
