Nicotine-free for 11 years, don't miss it even a little bit.

Oh, yeah, a tire gauge. Try one of these:

Old friend of mine was the local Hunter auto equipment dealer/service tech, he gave me a couple gauges in different configurations. Been consistently accurate, and yeah pick one gauge and stay with it you'll worry less over things.

Been using this for a few years now. Spot on when compared to the TPMS in my truck.

There is also a lot of expensive junk out there.

My foot pump has a gauge built in and it has worked fine for about 20 years now.

This works well for me. Take it to a local tire shop once a year to check accuracy and it’s always been dead on.

Find the accurate one and test it against the preferred one, note the difference and use that. Or spend the money on what you want. I don't sweat a couple of pounds either way.

I can commiserate w/ the OP.
My rant is tire shops not having "state of the art" tire pressure gauges.
I'd like a gauge that reads in 1/10 of a pound, mine reads digital in 1/2 pounds.
For a street Harley 1/2 pound will do nicely.
Summit Racing dot com maybe the best site to search for that quality tool?
I have not experience as to which guage/ brand is best only stating I bought a $10
digital from Radio Shack a decade ago and it is accurate and still working.
Good luck wished for finding your perfect tool!

True enough. I've bought stuff from Walmart that's lasted years. I've also paid premium prices for some expensive gadget that doesn't work worth a damn.
