I keep a dual-foot guage in the garage - works well with all the wheels I've tried.

Thanks for the recommendation! I've been using a small dial-type gauge for years -- works great when you can get it perfect, but otherwise...grf!

I think it's the long handle that allows easier alignment. But that's just a guess.

Makes sense. I'll use that in my search image for a new one.

Just got back from taking the car out for a spin. Fix'd! Woo-hoo!

New suspension parts - $1000+
Fundamental understanding how tires affect ride quality - priceless!

I keep a cheap gauge in the car, works well enough. The TPMS sensor is only there for telling an average driver there's a problem rather then a performance issue.

Similar to mine:

I have used a very nice liquid filled one with a hose and those are much better but about 5x the price.
