Tire pressure gauge

For you guys who track any tire pressure gauge recommendations?

Just want something simple that I can use to monitor pressure and easily let air out while still hooked up. I remember someone at the track using something like this. It was an analogue readout and had a flexible hose.

Are these all pretty much the same?

Get this one: http://www.amazon.com/Longacre-Liqui...+tire+pressure

Liquid filled and holds pressure reading (even when you remove it from the valve stem) until you release it with a button. I've had mine for 5 years and wouldn't bother with another one. Extremely accurate at any elevation and it's very easy to read. Everyone who uses mine at the track ends up wanting to get one for themselves.

Longacre or Joe's.

Also make sure you get one in the right range like the one I linked is 0-60 psi.

Reporting back in.

I bought the Longacre gauge. It is excellent. It just works and makes setting exact PSI so easy. I also ended up using someone else's Joe's gauge at the track. It was just as good.

Can't go wrong with either of them really. Thanks for the help fellas.
