Tire Pressure

[DakotaRae]

Can someone give me advice as to the best tire guage and also air chuck to use for the rear tire?? I am not sure if need to purchase a gauge with a flex hose or not. Any and all advice appreciated.

Can't say about the best. I use my old Harley gauge.
But for me, a FLEX hose is a must and found that one with a "screw" down end works best.

We have a fellow in here, who sells tires. He suggested an Accutire Setpoint gauge. :thumbup:

I can highly recommend this one. Reads in 0.1 psi increments so easy to get right to left pressures even and the chuck fits all three wheels easily.

That one DOES look pretty handy! :thumbup:
But it's not the least-expensive one that I've ever seen... :shocked:

H-D makes a flexible "extender" for laced wheels. I think it cost me $10.00. Go to any Harley shop and pick one up. Makes inflating and pressure checking very easy.
Hope this helps.

This is the Harley valve stem extension. I find it very good for checking the reat tire. The Harley portable compressor also comes with one as part of the kit.

The compact compressor:

So what if they're from Harley, they're quality accessories. I have no financial interest in the company.

I say get one of these - http://gnipsel.com/spyderstore/index.php?route=product/category&path=25

It's a great tool to get the front tires at equal pressure. You can connect it to the rear tire and add/check pressure with ease. The quick connect for the valve stem is easy to put on and off. Well worth the price if you can't make your own like I did.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PUTC0MThat's the one I use. Possibly because I saw it when you posted a previous link to it. I just hooked it up to a small electric air compressor and it's always hanging in my garage ready for use. With the flex hose, the large digital display, and the quick-release connector, its very easy to use. And very accurate also. :thumbup:

Sounds like you're REALLY liking that thing, Bob. So am I. The FOBO kit has become one of my all-time favorite farkles. :thumbup:
Thanks again for the lead.

I have the Accutire MS-4441GB Talking Digital Tire Pressure Gauge, English and Spanish ...what I like it's easy to use and give you the tire pressure both digitally and talking to you!

It reaches that hard to get rear tire valve stem on my RT and I like the talking feature especially when getting that rear tire pressure reading. It appears to be very accurate as I use this gauge on all my vehicles.

Good luck on your choice - you can get this for about $10...I bought mine on Amazon Prime for around $9.

Still using the one that came in the tool kit of our 2012 limited.
