tire gauge recommendation
i have a digital that really sucks.
it is difficult to get a good seal without letting lots of air out.
does anyone recommend a good one?

Based on a recommendation, I got the dial type Moroso 89560 0-60 psi and have no complaints. Attaches to the stem easily and has a large, easy to read dial.

Get a Longacre with a swiveling head and excess air release button. Makes the whole process a breeze.

The Longacre gets great reviews, but the $121.45 price point was hard for me to justify. I went with the Moroso for under $40, has the excess air release button, and never needs batteries.

Just so you know, there are other Longacre gauges that have the same features for around $40. That's what I bought.

Heck, now I've learned about gauges today! I did find this Car and Driver review I just found is interesting.

This is the three piece set I got with the tread depth gauge:
