I was always suspect of the normal pencil type tire gauges. I recently bought a lower end LongAcre 0-60 psi guage.

Tire guages do go bad. Your old gage might be off. They are cheep. Just get another one and compare. Also, some gauges are designed for higher pressure tires. You will not get an accurate reading on these gauges when used on lower pressure tires.

PS; Welcome to the forum.
