Any one with experience with an accurate gauge that does not cost arms and legs?
0-60 psi.

Following with interest. The last couple tire gauges I've had were absolute crap.

Same. My Miata is very sensitive to tire pressure - a pound either way really affects handling. A good gauge for the glovebox would be welcomed.

I've had a couple knocking around in the car or truck, both work equally well, both are "accurate" in the sense they match each other, and they match the TPMS on my cars.

Years ago, the best pencil gauge seemed to be one from "Syracuse" but I don't know if they're still available or not.
There's nothing civil about this war.
ANSI or ASME B40.1 Grade B is the minimum standard you're looking for. That's a good commercial gauges and will be +/- 3%, but a 0-60 gauge should be within 2% at the 30psi point. There are more accurate ones, but expect to start paying significantly more as you move up the scale. Digital ones are apparently more accurate these days, I haven't bought one for roughly 15 years so I can't speak from experience.
https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-Di.../dp/B07GCS9ZCM for example, is advertised at +/- 0.6 Psi.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Depends what you want out of it. If you just want to see if all the tires are almost the same once in a while, any will do.
If you want repeatable over time and to actually read the number, get a dial intended for racing. Analog is usually cheaper and works fine. Longacre is the most common and the one I use. Expect to spend around $80.
My understanding is most current digital gauges are accurate to within .2 of a pound.
This is what I keep in the vehicles: https://www.amazon.com/Accutire-MS-4...3201875&sr=8-3
After that you want an ANSI certified, liquid filled, gauge and they start upwards of $75 and go up.
Here's a quick comparison: https://blog.tirerack.com/blog/tire-...nt-temperature - The digital gauge was a version of the Accutire I linked to above.

Intercomp USA purchased on Amazon several years ago. Little pricey but it works
Been using this Joe's Racing gauge for years with zero issues. I found about it while doing motorcycle track days years ago. Some really fast guys that I trust were using it and recommended it to me. Currently $30.
