 Nice gauge, but... November 30, 2008
Patrick K. Mckillip (Puyallup, WA)
...the button valve doesn't work, so it won't hold a reading when you remove the gauge from the valve stem.
 moroso tire gauge November 24, 2008

this is good for the price and buy the cover and you have to take apart to get the cover on other wise this guage works good and seems accurate.
 Large Pressure Gauge, NICE November 23, 2008
William Saghy (Pittsburgh, PA USA)
Didn't expect the meter to be so large. Meter works as expected, did protect it with a Moroso 89590 Tire Pressure Gauge Cover. Works as expected, very easy to read dial. Pressure release valve is nicely located to let excess air from tires. Overall, I have had many tire gauges in the past, this one seems to be the most reliable and sturdy gauge I ever owned, RECOMMEND!
I finally believe the pressure readings in my tires November 11, 2008
Mark Hunsaker (Chicago, IL)
I've taken up an interest in my tires since moving to Chicago... the dramatic seasonal changes (temperature, snowfall) have convinced me to keep an eye on my tire pressure and tread depth. For years I have used the cheap pen-style pressure gauge where the measuring stick pops out the bottom. I was never comfortable with the results, mostly because I couldn't repeat them. Even tire pumps with built in gauges seemed to be rather unreliable in terms of providing accurate tire pressure measurements.
I'm glad I made the investment in the 89560. This seemed like a lot of money for a tire pressure gauge, but the product lives up to the expectation. Here are some thoughts:
- The nozzle end that connects to the tire stem swivels freely in either direction, making it easier to maneuver the thick tube into an upright position.
- The bleeder valve is great. I over-inflate the tires a little and then bleed the excess air out. The gauge keeps the correct reading after pressing the bleeder so there is no need to reset anything or remove the nozzle.
- The 0-60 PSI rating is the perfect scale for my cars' tires. My Toyota Sienna is 35 PSI, my Honda Civic is 30 PSI, and my spare is 60 PSI. This scale allows me to see the reading in much finer detail versus the 0-100 PSI gauge.
- I was able to get consistent readings on every tire, even after disconnecting the nozzle over and over. The nozzle has a good seal on the stem and virtually no air escapes.
- Although the gauge head is large and easy to read, it feels a little fragile. I would highly recommend the purchase of the 89590 gauge cover. I set the gauge on the ground many times while measuring all of my tires and am certain that the face and sides would have been scratched up after just a couple of uses.
- I would also recommend the Slime COMP06 tire inflator to quickly top off the pressure in each tire from the comfort of your own garage.
- The picture that Amazon uses for the product is not entirely accurate. It is showing the 0-100 PSI gauge with a blue collar on the nozzle. The 0-60 PSI guage has smaller increments on the face of the dial, and the nozzle collar is black.
- Finally, I received the product packaged on a large blister card which did not include any specific operation instructions.
doesn't create great seal October 22, 2008

product quality appears to be great with one exception, it doesn't appear to create an easy seal with the tire valve, making accidental leakage unavoidable and frustrating when trying to dial in a very specific tire pressure
