good eve guys, i just registered here and i find it helpful based on the topics i read regarding the forums, so i would like your opinion regarding what tire gauge to buy, i own a fd 2010 model and i kind of lack knowledge regarding the maintenance of my car. so guys what kind of tire gauge would you suggest for me? i tried this certain brand i just bought yesterday but when i place it on my tires, the gauge won't even move.

Have a digital I used for a while, then went back to analog round dial. Take your defective one back and try another model, I would guess most are about the same.

I personally prefer the pencil type gauges. Convenient for me.
I prefer Milton brand.


The cheapo pencil type gauges you find in the checkout line at Walmart and Costco, you could pick up 5 of those and you might get 5 very different readings from the same tire. And they don't last long.
Same for the cheapo pencil type gauges at the local DangerZone here.


I have several Milton brand pencil type gauges that read up to 50 PSI for use on cars. I keep one in each of my cars and probably 4 in my toolbox at work.
I have one 100 PSI Milton brand gauge for use on trucks.

I have 2 digital gauges that I mostly use for checking the accuracy of the others.
The Milton gauges usually stay within about 1-2 PSI of each other. If one varies too much, I toss it and get another.
