Tyre Gauges - How Accurate is Yours?

[BigJules]

I find the discrepancy between my ARB inflator gauge and my ARB deflator gauge to be annoying in the extreme. I don't know which one is correct, and it may be that I have inflated some tyres and deflated others to what I'm hoping is the same pressure but in reality they're 5-8psi different which makes a significant difference.

Its accurate I know it is,  It was mass produced in Tiawan and been checked under the strictest of quality controls for accuracy ... Not just a cheap dodgy Wong Ho knock off copy import .... LOL

Don't get so excited 

Now that you have elaborated and we now know you are talking about the electronic servo tyre gauges, the whole argument changes.  I was under the impression you were comparing like with like and comparing your Repco gauge with the older style gauge on the end of a hose at the servo.  If, and only if, the servo electronic gauges are calibrated regularly, then I would agree with you.

But there is no regulations saying they must be accurate or regularly calibrated according to the servo manger I just spoke to whilst topping up.
