Been using a spring loaded low tire pressure gauge. What has occured is it now starts at 2 PSI not at Zero when orginally purchased. I have tried to find a digital gauge but the two I have tried really start at 2.5 lbs. I need to get down to 1.5 lbs to soften the ride on my Max II. I have K rims so I should be able to do this. If not I will try between 1.5 to 2.0 lbs but need the accuracy of the digital readout. I have also noticed even .5 lbs difference in tires adversely effects steering , so accuracy is kind of important here as well. Does anyone know of where I can purchase an accuracte low tire gauge. Price is not that important as the performance and reliability of the device. Thanks for any help on this one.

I saw a friend make a low pressure gauge for tires on his 3-wheeler using a vacuum/pressure gauge (the one used to check engine vacuum and fuel pressure) and a tire chuck. He put a barbed fitting on the tire chuck and installed it in the hose to the gauge.
