Default Tyre Pressure Gauges

Where might i buy a good tyre pressure gauge that i can keep in the car, perhaps also an air pump for the car tyres that i can use with the cig lighter.
Can anyone please recommend to me what they have?

Supercheap, Autobarn, Kmart, Big W, just remember the same with everything "you get what you pay for".

Very true. Words to live by.

I bought a fairly good quality tyre gauge from AutoBarn about 5 years ago. Definately worth it although those new electronic air gauges at the servos are much more accurate than the old hand held style.

I have a Michelin gauge as used by top motorcycle race teams - very accurate:

I paid $85 for it new in 2002.

Best place for choice would be a good 4 wheel drive shop.
