On the recommendation of a tire technician at Firestone/Bridgestone, I found a combination Tire Press / Tread Depth Gauge for $10 at Home Depot.
Digital readouts in point5/psi increments from 5 to 99 psi.
About the size of an auto alarm remote, it's not real sturdy if you bang things around a lot, but we calibrated it against a $300 gauge at the Firestone/Bridgestone tire shop and it was accurate right down to the 1/2 pound on each of the four tires on my wife's car.

Made by Husky, the Model number is 925D-6HOM and Home Depot SKU is 968438

That's pretty good on the accuracy. I've got one similar to the Campbell Hausfeld model shown on that link. I don't know if it's accurate, but at least I can keep my tires equally inflated. Bring yours to the meet so I can compare the accuracy of mine.

Will-do!

I have a manual version that the chevrolet dealer I used to work for uses. Its the size of a pen and clips in your pocket with a pen clip. Use it before I buy used tires to get a better feel for what I'm getting.
