Here's a little analogy I'm rather fond of..... A man with one watch knows
the time. A man with two watches isn't so sure.
Now seriously, I have 2 dial type gauges... one for my garage and one for
the track. Both are high quality brands and read within a 1/2 pound of each
other. Obviously my recommendation is a dial type gauge, don't drop it,
and just believe in it. Adjust pressure according to how the tire tread is
wearing and you should be fine.
