Tire pressure gauge standard ?
Hi guys,
Does NIST issue standards for tire pressure gauges ? Lately when I use 3 different gauges, one pen-like mechanical type, one digital, and one from the gas station airpump, all give different numbers 28, 32 and 38 psi.
What type of gauge do you guys trust and use ?

Not trying to advertise, but I bought a "cyclopse" guage/filler from Tire Rack and love it.
It can attach to 2 tires at once and will balance the pressures between the tires. You can can fill or deflate both tires at once as well.
Appears very accurate as I have used it on a newer Benz that reads pressures as well and it was dead on....
