    I have a couple of newer Snap-On stick type gauges and both read the same.

    I'd try to pick the one that you think is most accurate and stick with it. At least you'll be consistent.

    I have three Slime Gauges which have analog dials! They are within one pound (PSI) of each other, so I feel confident I'm maintaining adequate pressure front and rear, 41/43 PSI.
    Owning a Motorhome, I also acquired a Milton Stick Gauge which has 150 PSI Max reading. After much research on many RV Forums, the Milton was the most oft purchased and accurate among users.
    Just replaced all six tires on the Motorhome with Good Year's! At $650.00 a pop, air pressure is critical and the Milton does the trick!

    I use the digital Slime gauges. They seem to be most consistent, and they are easy to use and are cheap in cost:

    I read somewhere that the NAPA gauge I referred to in my post is made by Milton and is one of the most accurate for the money....Ride safe

    I used to manage tire stores. At times I would order in a box of tire gauges. In the tire industry, the common brands were either Milton or Schrader. Often, the gauges would very by 2-3 lbs.
