Question What kind of tire gauge do you use for your King Classic?

I tried my normal car tire pressure gauge to check the pressure on the RKC but it wont fit between the spokes. Whats a good brand/model gauge to get to make this easier?


Thanks.

I have several gauges and have no trouble checking the air. You should easily be able to find one at Walmart to do the job. I don't see the need to drop 30 bucks on a "genuine" tire gauge.

I use the same guage as Dawg. I like it for three reasons: 1. You can set the gauge on the ground and get a good square mating to the valve stem with minimal loss of pressure. 2. It has a button on the side of the guage to release air pressure if overfilled a tad. 3. It has a tread depth guage and to me is helpful in determining the remaining tire life if a long trip is in the mix...

+1 on the HD guage, I have about 3 or 4 different ones in the garage, but the HD one is my fave.
