We all know the importance of maintaining proper tire pressure for any car
but, especially for our Corvairs. My long trusty favorite tire pressure
gage seems lately to be giving false readings so I'm contemplating buying a
new one. Any advice or recommendations out there? I liked the old one not
only because, until recently, it seemed to be spot-on accurate but also
because I like its flexible hose and the little button on the side that
allowed me to let air out if I found the tire to be over-inflated.
What about this one from Griot's Garage?

And, lastly, could it be possible that I am getting false readings on my
old gage because I keep it in the car and it's been temporarily affected by
the cold temperatures outdoors? BTW, my old one is analog with a round gage
and a sweep needle. The false readings I have been getting from it have
resulted in my over-inflating the tires. In other words, it's telling me I
have less pressure in there than I really do.
Thanks!
