I bought the Ring RAC 600 because it goes up to 100psi - my van tyre pressures are 65psi and I found many gauges only go to 50psi. 3 friends have also purchased the Ring - an excellent piece of kit which I can recommend.

I purchased a Halford digital gauge because, like other, my previous gauge did not go above 50psi. I also have the Ring compressor in Bowler post above and its a good bit of kit and saves a lot of foot pumping!

I use a RACE X PROFESSIONAL  pressure gauge.  It has a clear dial (analogue) and has a max. reading of 60psi.  Ideal if you don't need higher pressures.

I always raise and lower my tyre pressures, depending on solo or towing.  My existing 12-volt tyre inflator was getting a bit rattly, so I have bought a Ring heavy duty 12-volt inflator. It has to be used with crocodile clips direct on the battery, because it is 23 amps.  But it is quick, and quiet.  It cost £60 but well worth it.

I have had used a 'Draper' tyre gauge for the past 6 years and is really useful because you can lock the dial pressure then read it accurately which is ideal for when bending down to check the tyre pressures. I was also informed by a tyre fitter that these are used by professionals to due their accuracy and reliability.
