Tire Pressure Gauge
I am looking for a good tire pressure gauge. I have one of those cheap ones with the stick that pushes out when you put it on your tire, but it sucks. I was wondering if electronic ones were worth it? Anything anyone can recommend?? I plan on Autocrossing so I need something accurate.

Get a dial gauge... those are usually pretty good, and make sure you got one with push-button memory, so it stays there when you pull it off the stem. Mine was like $5... it seems to work fine, but I'm sure you could spend lots more. Also invest some coin in a 5 or 10 gallon air tank so you can adjust up while on the grid. It sucks to have to bump air.

Rep Power: 380 THe only issue I have with Digital tire pressure gauges is that you cant bleed the air while using them.
Dial Gauges are much better for race applications (Where your constantly checking and changing tire pressures) Get one that only goes up to 60psi, It will give you a much more acurate reading then one that goes to 100.
You can pick up an 8 Gal air tank at Walmart for like $16 dollars, definitly worth it.
