    Any accurate tire pressure gauge recommendations?

    Seeing how most of these machines operate at such a low PSI are there any good tire gauges out there for this?

    I would prefer a digital one over a mechanical if it is accurate to a couple of decimal points at such a low PSI.

    If any one uses the Argo dial one and can review it that would be great too.

    You can go to a Summitt racing catalogue and order a low pressure tire gauge. This is what I used when I was drag racing. Reads down to 1 psi.

    That is what I have mine for and it works well with the AATV and gets more use with them.

    When I go to the drag strip (1/8) I take my Factory Five Roadster, just a 302 with a 5 speed and 3.73 gears. For Road racing a 93 Mazda RX7, and a 97 Mazda Miata, and a 94 Ford Mustang GT.

    Thanks guys I think I found it

    I noticed the one I use from my car starts at 5 PSI the max pressure the Argo’s tires are rated for.

    It is a little pricey but looks like a good unit ,Ultra Hi-Tec Digital Tire Gauge

    You may want to check the inflated diameter along with the pressure. I have an adjustable web strap that I check the circumference of the tires. You would think that tire pressure and diameter would be consistent.

    I got one from the 4 wheeler shop for under $20, it is a mechanical one but does 0-15lb in quarter pound increments

    That's actually how they used to measure the proper inflation of the old balloon tires.
