+ 1 for free Discount tire gauges. Have one in all 3 cars and they all read the same (which still may not be accurate  ).

you'd be surprised how accurate they can be given you replace them every so often. I've worked with tires for the longest(Discount Tire, Goodyear, NTB). We always had fresh TPG's coming in weekly by the bags so i know for a fact they have more than a couple to spare.lol

I've been using an Accu-Gage 60 PSI dial gauge for several years and it's been great: Amazon.com: Accu-gage Tire Pressure Guage - 60 PSI Range Straight Angle: Automotive

Found an accu-guage 0-160psi locally for 12.50. Doesn't have the rubber hose feature but I think it will be fine.
A good reason to take the Box out for a run
