Tire Pressure Gauge? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hey all,

Just wondering what tire pressure gauges you folks recommend? I just have a cheapie one and I want to make sure I'm getting accurate readings, so I want to buy a new one. Which ones do you guys use/recommend?

mine is a round dial style but it only goes up to 60psi so you can really see where you are. not a big fan of the digital ones. I have seen the one like I have shaped like a tire (has a little rubber boot around it with tread on it...cheesy)

While not the exact same gauge I use, this is almost identical to it and I've actually got 2 of them. One of them has the rubber bumper around the gauge itself, the other which is much older, I cut and placed part of a can cuzzy around to protect it. I prefer the 0-60 versions, cause thats the normal range I'm working within!!

several of my friends run e rated tires (80psi) so they can't use it. big trucks are cool.

I still prefer the 60psi one. lets me put mine to 50ish without issue. that is on my other car. not even sure what the yaris has in it (I need to check that)
