PeterJMC Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I would opt for no. It'll spend most of your time in your glove box anyway. When you do pull it out to use it, it won't work because the batteries are dead. Why worry, just get a good old standard one. *Edit* Well that'll be on your keychain... but why worry about keeping the batteries in it fresh and good.

hondas123 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 For the price I'd say why not? I'd also have a regular one too. But that one will always be with you. (granted you always have your keys with you) - The Mortgage Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Subaru makes one digital as well... I got it as freebie when I purchased my all weather mats, worthy? Hmmm not sure, but I use it a lot... I guess if they are cheap won't hurt your pockets heheheeh Flavio Zanetti Boston, MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have an Accutire guage but it's a bigger model and accurate to +/- 0.5 PSI http://images.canadiantire.ca/media/images/Automotive/AutoRepair/TireGaugeWrenches/0095518_450_CC_17b9f.jpg I used to have one of these. Michelin Tire guage: http://images.canadiantire.ca/media/images/AutoRepair/TireGaugesWrenches/0095520_160_CC_2de7b.jpg But I didn't like it and returned it... Felt very cheap and would give wrong readings. I've been happy with my Accutire guage and check my tire pressure every gas fillup with the weather changing so often now that it is spring. Although the sucky RE92s require constant tire pressure monitoring. Got brand new Michelin Pilots and they have been fine so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajack Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Backlit psi gauges are the shizzle on the touge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 but why worry about keeping the batteries in it fresh and good. I've had an Accutire digital gauge for over 3 years running off of its original battery. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 iv'e got one similar to that and use it all the time... Very nice to have... and mine has also been going strong for several years on one set of batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Oh my!!! :lol: Check this page link out, scroll down to the first two comments about the tire guage on the page. Hilarious! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00080QHMM/ref=pd_sim_auto_1/104-3624806-1663940?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=15684181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legasee Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 how accurate are these when you recalibrate them? (push them against the valve stem, then release, and wait for 00.0 reading, then push it against the valve stem again for tire pressure reading)... In Taiwan now...

PeterJMC Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I've had an Accutire digital gauge for over 3 years running off of its original battery. -Mike- Hmm... I stand corrected. If they do last that long then it would be a great investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
