What brand of guages are you guys using for taking tire pressures? Are the liquid filled ones really that much better?

The only advantage to the liquid filled type is that they withstand shock better. Personally, I use a Longacre 0-60 psi with 14" flex hose and it is still accurate after 2 years of use.

 

Me too. Really good value (ie, it's not too expensive).

not to be an ***, but how do you know it is accurate?

 

how do you know any gauge is accurate?

 

That makes the argument for using the same brand and/or model of guage.

I did have two guages that were exactly the same. One is still good. My friend's team forgot theirs at the last race. When I went to use the backup guage, it fell apart on me. Hence the search for quality guages.
