if you are reading up to 37 lbs max for a car, should i buy a 60 lbs gauge?

Joe's Racing Gauge is PERFECT for cars up to 50 PSI. If you need more than 50 PSI buy a different gauge. I fill my car tires at 35-36 PSI and Joe's Racing gauge is exactly the right tool for the job. For 10-50 PSI Joe's Gauge is fantastic. FYI, I have used other gauges and NOTHING is more accurate than this tire gauge; my cars' readouts on the dash are all within ONE PSI of this tire Gauge. Quality is outstanding and this device deserves 5 stars. I use it for my Scooter (30 PSI), bikes, riding mower, etc. Perfect for all the common, regular household needs.

Yes you should. The gauge is most accurate in the middle of its range. In fact you can damage mechanical gauges if you exceed their range.
993176
Yes... that is the best guage for a 37 psi tire. right in the middle of its capability. More accurate.

Hi,Rule of thumb is to get a gauge that is double what the inflation pressure should be set. My rears are set at 35psi and imho this gauge can handle that.
993178
I would say no. They say the gauge is most accurate if you read tire pressure that is approximately one half of the amount the gauge is rated to measure....I don,t believe that you will have any problems....I use my age upto 45 lbs.

Yes as this is more than 50% of full scale it is very easy to read and confirm this pressure on a 0-60 psi scale. Many other gauges have a 0-100 or even 0-120 psi scale and it is more difficult to read a relatively low (37 psi) reading on those gauges.

Absolutely. Experts say that any serious gauge should display the operating number close to the middle of the dial. And that's exactly what this gauge does. Further, riding my motorcycle into the mountains, I found a nine psi rise in pressure after gaining several thousand feet of altitude, and riding around the twisty road. In very extreme cases, it could be far more. So the range of this gauge is perfect. You can't beat it for the quality it provides and the price its selling for right now.

I don't think it really matters which gauge you use. This machine can accommodate either. The thicker gauge will have more silver & last longer, but it costs more.

You might get 2 more inches clearance with 90lbs psi, but if you don't have enough weight on your truck, you'll be riding a bull on rough roads. Hang on tight!

It probably won't measure correctly. The idea here is that the gauge reads empty when it is hooked to the exact weight of a standard 20 lb. tank. Let's say that's 5 lbs. If your 30 lb. tank weighs 7 lbs. when empty, the needle on this would still read above empty. You could only really use this if you weighted your tank when it is empty and custom marked that as the new zero or empty value. Also, I don't know how well this would tolerate weighing your tank at full weight.

oh yeah. i weigh about 240lbs, with 60psi (which is more than recommended i think), and jump all kinds of stuff on the road. no problems yet, great tire.

I used 14 gauge, but not sure if there is a limit one way or the other. We still have not had any problems at all with this box. Love it. Highly recommend it

It says 10 gauge but I personally would do 6 gauge or larger. This amplifier is fused at 60 amps. To carry 60 amps you typically need AT LEAST 8 gauge wire and that is bare minimum in my book. On a side note the actual amount of wire in contact with the terminal on the amp is not as important as the size of the wires in general. What I mean by this is if you have to shave the wire down at the end to get it to fit into the hole on the amp it won't matter as long as you have the bigger gauge wire running through the car. Run a single 4 gauge wire for optimum performance in all conditions. It says 10 gauge but I personally would do 6 gauge or larger. This amplifier is fused at 60 amps.

My gauge reads up to 120 PSI. Well worth the money as I patched a nail hole in my 20" truck tire and it has held for over 6 months. Hope this helps!

If it don't move probly not working actually I was not to happy with this gauge , I purchased a different one witch I like a lot better, this one seamed so big and stiff ! Good Luck

no this gauge will not handle that pressure, it is rated 5-60 psi Accutire makes a heavy duty truck tire gauge link belowhttp://www.measurement-limited.com/Heavy-Duty-Digital-Truck-Gauge_p_36.html

I don't think will read that high. I don't know of many that will. I don't have my gauge with me so I can't say for sure. I do like the gauge for the large easy to read display.

The problem is that when you brake hard at 60mph that 250 pounds will suddenly have well over 1000 pounds of force. The second problem is availability of graduated sizes of D-rings. There are really thin ones with the D not welded, and the next step up is a fairly standard size rated usually at 1200 or more pounds. I strongly suggest you go with these. The bolt-down strap is about 3/4" wide and 1/16" thick or more. The D is welded at it's joint and about 1" across. The steel is hard and not easily bent. To get full strength, you must use bolts and nuts to a frame member, not sheet metal or wood screws. I suggest these bolts be stainless or regularly painted. Typical nickel plating will last maybe a couple of years.

If the manufacturer doesn't post the ga. then I'm assuming it's just another thin gauge that you'll get 1-2 years out of. There is a good one made from a boiler pressure tank end (commercial) for ~$300 woodlanddirect.com (The Patriot).

No it will not prevent you from using but I would not mount a 37 tire on your tail gate it will cause long term sagging of your tail gate I had a 35 tire with this set up for 2 years and my tail gate saggs bad. If you wanna run 37 i suggest another tire carrier that takes the weight off your taillgate

Readability is to .1. My car tells me each tire's pressure to the lb. they appear to be in sync. I LOVE the guage and gave out over a dozen as Chistmas presents.

Yes, that means it's rated for a max of 145yds of 12lb line. You can still go thicker, but you won't be able to load as much length then, and it could affect performance if you go too heavy.

Yes, the range of the gage isn't large, just what it needed for most car tires. Easy to read.
