A while back I purchased a gauge with the deflate button for keeping the rear tires where they need to be. I got one of the Joe’s Racing gauges from Jegs and thought that would be the ticket. Subsequently I read some disparaging comments on line about that item and last time out noticed that the air pressure didn’t seem to be as low as I intended and what the gauge was saying. As it turns out... the online commentary was right. The thing is junk. I bent over and bought one of the real deals for real racers at considerably more money and this is what I found... you get what you pay for. Same tire/same time. Joe’s reading 4 lbs low. I can’t believe my beloved Jegs sells crap like that. 4D2BC18D-DFA2-4F67-97F2-7EF0D493165B.jpeg 630F64FA-5D04-430D-BDB7-AAA1BC9AEDDD.jpeg

Happy with my Oil Filled Longacre analog 0-60. I should check it against another just for laughs though:

I'm more concerned with the consistency of a gauge than if the reading is true.
Once finding the pressure that works best, it doesn't much matter to me if the actual pressure is three psi higher or lower.
