checked tire psi latley ? and guage issues
checked my tire psi today. both down apx 5 pounds. just checked them one month ago. amazing how tires loose tire pressure ?
if you take 10 different guages,i promise you will get 10 different readings ? dang,all the ones in the stores are china junk. if i could only find one i knew was right ?????????????? anyone else ever notice this problem ?
so,the main question,what is the best tire guage ? sure has to be a narrow one to get to my bob !! pencil type i reckon .
i will be curious on the answers on this one ?!!!
oh,i do have a usa made one now,i think is right,then again,who knows,i have not had good luck with the digital tire guages,that is for sure .
sorry,i just hate china made stuff. and so it goes . feedback anyone on this tire psi delema ?

Do it like the pro riders: check that tire pressure weekly with the same gauge. My pickup/camper, which sits idle through the winter months, looses 6/8 pounds per tire over the winter.

I like the dial ones with the hose. I find trying to take the pressure of the back tire with a pencil type guage is rather touchy especially whe you have bags on. What does everyone hink of the one Harley sells?

Here is a fancy one from Griot's Garage. It's pricey at $19.99, but it's digital and has several cool features. Here's the link, check it out: Griot's Garage Tire Gauge
